Last week, on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart mocked comedian Whoopi Goldberg for suggesting that dog fighting - a la Michael Vick - was a "southern tradition." You Spot-on reader might have found that familiar. Jeanne Jackson had made a similar suggestion earlier in the week.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a speech this week at Columbia University as was immediately denounced as a crack-pot. Spot-on readers know all about Ahmadinejad's nuttiness. Christopher Brauchli's been on to him for a while.
This week, Jeanne and Chris turned their attention to airport manners and morays. Given their track-records on wondering about the news - or the potential for satire - before it catches on elsewhere, we're calling both these fine bits of writing to your attention.
Jeanne's "Southwest Exposure" is here. And Chris' "Babies on Board" is here.
