Bumped!

30Apr08

If you were watching closely this morning you noticed we reported on the teacher charged with bringing a gun to school - but after our initial report at 530am, you didn’t see us again.  We were bumped.  But I gotta give credit where credit is due - Justin Jaeger in NewsChopper 4 did a fantastic [...]

Tragedy in Torrance

29Apr08

Just before our midday newscast, a neighbor came up to me with a slip of paper.  She said the neighborhood was hurting after the apparent murder-suicide and that neighbors wanted to come together and help in some way.  So she asked that I share this with you, an account, set up for the wife who [...]

A Snail’s Pace? Not Hardly!

24Apr08

I grabbed this shot this morning outside the Santa Monica Airport and it got me thinking: if there’s anything that this shift is not, it’s slow.  This morning (ironically as we’re talking about aircraft speed) we were at first moving slowly.  Granted, it’s early in the morning so give us a break!  But around 530a [...]

TSA Getting Frisky?

SAG Contract Negotiations

15Apr08

“To the bargaining table, Robin!  We haven’t one moment to lose!”  Can you see Adam West saying that?  It’s what SAG is saying to the AMPTP and vice versa - the sooner they get started on talks, the less likely we’ll see a strike like that of the WGA.
Coming from the “outside,” this is all [...]

Ride for World Health

07Apr08

It’s an important issue, for sure: medical access.  It is the doctors and health care professionals on this ride that say everyone is entitled to medical access.  The Ride for World Health is to promote that idea and to support Doctors without Borders, an independent, donor-supported program that gives medical attention to those who need [...]
