Today's (Jan. 29, 2010) Cincinnati Enquirer has the story on the front-page of the local section. No mention of where the news first broke five days ago.

  1. Blogging is a tough gig. :) Can't speak for others but passion and love of information - good, accurate information that isn't getting ink anywhere else and which the reading public can decide whether they need or not or trust it or not, is what it's all about.
