WARNING!
Read at your own intellectual prowess's peril: this article/press release sucks.
It is supposed to be a year-round-up for dubious distinction in journalism reporting awards. In other words: everything that has been hyped or over hyped.
I ask this: can we do now better for counting what is overhyped?
Not that it doesnt hold value as much more than it does water.
But its also SUPPOSED to hold a reporting link with George Mason University. You have heard of George Mason right? And the fact that he had a University named after him?
Well! Have you, until now, ever heard of anything dubbed the
Statistical Assessment Service ?
A minute bit of research reveals the director is also a tv commentator
for FOX news.

And from the In Case You Missed It Department, the US lost one of its past Presidents who may one day be recalled and mentioned in the same breath as past President as a great orator and elder statesman.
I feel the pain of the US at the moment, not exactly sharing in your loss as much as empathizing, not so much that the passage of time has claimed the long dignified life of one of your greatest contributors to the history of your country, but as a result of having a current President who offered up these words in eulogy to the passing of Mr. Gerald Ford:
"...and when he put his hand on his family bible..he brought grace to a moment of great doubt."

And that sums up my blog today.
