Former News-Press Reporters to be Honored
While News-Press Editor Travis continued his cabal-making rants today against Dave Davis on the editorial pages (Dave is a long-time cabal member and Executive Director of CEC) the Association for Women in Communication is honoring some of his former colleagues. Although old habits may die hard for each of us -- I have to ask how long before the AWC or some of their key members become part of the cabal as well? Here is the press release with all the info...

I hope in getting ready for this event, some of these women wash their mouth out with soap. Some of their actions and comments have not been universally loved.
Seems slightly off that they would pick 5 of the women who left, as opposed to all of them -- what about Starshine Roshell, Camilla Cohee, Hildy Medina, Maria Zate, Andrea Huebner, Kim Favors, Lara Milton, Kim Burnell, Leah Etling, Sarah Sinclair, Amy Weinstein .. and many others, that's just the list I come up with off the top of my head.
Rebels, golly gee, profanity in a newsroom! Horrors! Cursing at malefactors! Who'd a thunk it? (And let's not forget the malefactor -- TKA -- lying about who actually hurled the epithet! Another shock).
Would that some of our esteemed public officials (e.g., Cheney, McBush) received even some of the abuse unjustly heaped on "these women" for their own understandable adventures in the profane, verbal being the least of it in the cases of our current warlike administration.
In fact, only one of the award winners is unquestionably a hurler of the uncouth word. As for the targets of the profanity by "that one woman" -- there are few recipients of salty language who more richly deserve those earthy epithets, except perhaps for those who sign the recipients' paychecks, and those who represent them when they lie in court.
