Let’s talk about failed news. Like this ...

Blue Ridge Parkway has history of body-dumping cases
STAFF REPORTS • OCTOBER 21, 2009 12:15 AM
The Blue Ridge Parkway has been tied to at least eight killings or suspected homicides since 1988, either through the discovery of remains near the scenic byway or through violence within parkway boundaries.

That’s the entire story.

Other local/national examples?

Murdering parkways. What’s our world coming to these days? I remember when the worst road-related criminality we had to put up with was just occasional “highway robbery.”

And then there’s “road rage.”  I think that’s how potholes form.

It’s just a poorly placed sidebar. Sidebars don’t work on the internet like they do in print. No, wait. Scratch that. They don’t work on the Shitizen’s lousy website like they do on any other website. Holy crap, this is a lot of text for a useless link.

Interested friends to see.
I hope you read what feelings later, can come here to be properly explored

I think this counts, no?

Hot Spot employee charged with embezzlement

Police arrested a convenience store employee with stealing $150 cash from her employer.
Theresa Correll Revis, 38, of Sand Hill Road, Asheville, was charged with embezzlement. Revis embezzled $150 from Hot Spot on Brevard Road where she worked, according to the arrest warrant. She was released under $500 unsecured bond.

Also relevant because we love the Hot Spot so.

It’s always 3:00 in the morning by any given Hot Spot dumpster.

It’s not like there is a local Sunday paper handing out free zeitgeist anymore.

All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
