ABC's 'The List' is just unwatchableFri, January 2, 2009 @ 5:29PM Demonstrating pretty clearly that it has run entirely out of ideas, ABC last week threw up its hands and presented “The List.” “The List,” airs at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays (for now) with Aussie host Rove McManus – no, you’ve never heard of him – before what sounds like a live studio audience but is never shown or acknowledged in any way, and with a completely convincing and not-at-all blue-screen window behind him looking out on Times Square. Well, none of this sounds promising, so on to the main thrust of the show: Lists. Because people love lists, right? Listing things, assigning ranks and numbers to entirely arbitrary stuff someone in a room somewhere decided was interesting. Well, let’s look at the memoirs that came out this season. Valerie Bertinelli wrote her husband thought she had a big butt.

MHS hoopsThu, December 18, 2008 @ 0:09AM Big games for Minot High hoops Friday. The Minot High boys team played a decent game last week in Bismarck, but should have a chance to get its first win in the Dean Winczewski era against Dickinson. The Midgets have super-stud sophomore Joe Hanstad, but not much else to my knowledge. The Magicians will need to find more scoring to supplement Andrew Crosby. Crosby returns as one of the top players in the state, but the Magicians don't have another player on their roster with significant varsity experience. Andrew's younger (but taller) brother Jesse may be the top candidate. He looked good against Bismarck High in stretches and should be able to score against pretty much anybody in the state in the post. I am interested to see how Bryan Phillips plays Friday. He struggled against the Demons, both with foul trouble and to find his offense. From all accounts he is a talented kid who should be a big cog for MHS this season.

I who am not without sinSat, December 13, 2008 @ 3:31PM A recent news story concerning Ward County Sheriff Vern Erck has generated quite a few comments from people, mostly negative, toward Erck's behavior. Granted, there is veracity to the thought that an elected public official should be held to a higher standard than many others in our community. There is also truth to the notion that making inappropriate comments to a co-worker, subordinate -- heck, most anyone for that matter -- is not a good thing to do. But in writing the story that I wrote, which appeared in Thursday's edition, I couldn't help but think about all the inappropriate things I've heard in most every conceivable situation involving people consuming alcohol to excess. Once again, maybe Erck should be held to a higher standard. Erck has been seeking treatment for his alcohol problems and is willing to show the county commission documentation to verify that -- a fact that should be applauded whether or not you agree with his past actions.
