Can someone please tell the local media—the local daily newspaper, in particular—to call a halt to the endless self-congratulatory features regarding our fair city's response to recent severe weather outbreaks?
People helping others clean up storm damage is not unique to Omaha. You can find the same "neighbors helping neighbors" non-story in the wake of any natural disaster anywhere in the world. It's what people do.
The blowhards in the glass print-shop should stop suggesting that Omaha has a monopoly on human kindness and decency. Rather than smugly touting how great we are, let's remember that we've also got a skyrocketing murder rate that no one's quite gotten a handle on yet.

--July 4th highlights from WOWT included soporific reporter Gary Smollen pointing directly at Rosenblatt Stadium's left field wall and saying, "over here in right field."
--In a rare instance of self-correction, Channel Sux has edited its blood drive promo, this time spelling replenish properly. Dictionally-challenged anchorette Malorie Maddox, however, still pronounces it "replinish." You can't fix everything. People might talk.
