I have an inner editor who is a terror.
She never shuts up, which makes reading newspapers difficult. Or hilarious. It
depends in how you look at it. Here's a few gleanings, thanks to my friend and fellow writer, Donn Taylor ...
From a local newspaper account of an
embezzlement:
“Employed since late 2001, court records
state that [name] …transferred more than $1.5 million from company funds….”
Comment: Good news: Court records are
not among the unemployed.
From a report on Fox News Channel:
“After two days pinned in the wreckage,
her friends found her lost dog.”
Comment: In the wreckage, there were
comparatively few places to look.
From the same local newspaper:
“[Name] was concerned about the welfare
of a dog that was chained to a fence in a neighbor’s yard without food or
water.”
Comment: The neighbor should have been
more conscientious in feeding the fence and yard.
From another local newspaper:
“[H]is former employer found videos of
a child engaging in a sexual act on a hard drive left in his desk.”
Comment: The obvious biological
difficulties not considered, how did the child get in the desk?
