#1 Whether his reporting rates highly or not, his presence does such a nice job of stirring the press into a roaring tizzy. Or a snit, or a ????

Grins all around.

#2 So maybe reporting isn't rocket science or brain surgery and maybe most people can do it--not just the journalism school trained elites.

#3 The people of Sderot "can't do normal things day to day," like get soap in their eyes in the shower, for fear a rocket might come in, Wurzelbacher said. "I'm sure they're taking quick showers. I know I would."

So far, that is about the most dramatic and real comment I have read or heard reported about the trials and tribulations or living in Sderot. Maybe the only comment that I have read along those lines.

Shake it up, Joe.

#4 Reporting and journalism are both over-rated since the ones doing the ratings are the reporters and journalists. Think about who you think did (does) a better job on Iraq - Michael Yon or Dexter Filkins of NYTimes? In Lebanon, Michael Totten or the AP?

#6 Remember when the professionals (1) of "AP", published the photo of the "bullets" (in facst, unfired cartridges) fired at an Iraki house. And those people feel like they could give lessons

(1) In French, the feminine form of "professional" is polite way to say "a whore"

#7 Even the locals are giving Joe the scrunched up upturned nose treatment. They then returned to their coverage of who was wearing what at the Golden Globes...

#9 I trust Mr. Joe precisely because he is not part of the MSM. I welcome his insight, advice and counsel.
