| The Story | An inmate who was sentenced
last week to at least 30 real years in prison commits suicide in the
Wise County Jail. One sheriff's official said he didn't
"understand why [the inmate] sought a permanent solution to a temporary
problem." |
| News worthiness (on a scale of 0 to 5) | **** |
| The Spin | It's a tragedy but how many of us
facing the same "temporary" problem would consider the same thing? |
| The Story | In a shocking development, a man
allegedly kills his wife and then himself at the LBJ National
Grasslands on Friday morning. |

| The Spin | An
inmate, Terry Schiavo, the Pope.......sheesh.....this week was full of
death. |
| The Story | Despite earlier reports, KBOC's
"People to People" will remain on the air. Disc jockey James Taylor
said "I heard a story about how television and radio waves go out into
outer space and they go on until they're absorbed by something." |

| The Spin | A federal official in
Roswell, New Mexico immediately announced "Now we know why that one
alien kept babbling on and on about a truck bed camper shell for a 1985
Ford - that really had us baffled." |
| The Story | We finally learn that part of the
Title IX (equal treatment of male and female athletics) complaint
against Decatur ISD revolved around potential female athletes having to
run an 8 minute mile in order to take part in athletics while no such
requirement applied to male athletes. |
| News worthiness | *** |
| The Spin | But that requirement would cut down on the
number of girls engaging in organized sports so then the school
wouldn't have to spend as much money on girl's athletics - oh, wait -
that might be a problem. |
| The Story | Sheriff David Walker ponders
establishing and exercise programs for deputies. |

| The Spin | "That eight minute mile
thing I read about in the paper sounded like a pretty good idea but as
soon as I suggested it I kept hearing all this 'He can have the
dang job', 'I'll do it if I can do it in patrol car', and 'I sure miss Phil' . Man, this sheriff job is getting
tough," said the sheriff. (Ok, we made it all up). |
