Recipe for News People Orgasm; The San Rafael Gunman holed up in hotel

Choppers. You gotta have those choppers.

Traffic up the ying-yang. The usual insipid live shot with reporter asking Tiburon housewife in Volvo stuck knee-deep amidst five-mile back-up: "Hey, how ya coping?" Housewife: "This is so bad--it took me a half-hour just to go a few feet!" (They both deserve each other.)

A gunman. With surveillance pictures, no less. Possible hostage. San Quentin background shots (orgasmic).

This is what they live for.

The only thing missing is Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.

  2. Totally agree of course. Question though in all seriousness: how do you think something like this should be covered? What is appropriate coverage for something like this.

    I live in Marin. Everyone I talked to in Sausalito and Mill Valley yesterday mentioned it.

  3. I thought the police used brilliant thinking to slide a steel plate over the snipers window. Imagine being so frustrated,so angry,you follow through on your fantasy to be a freeway sniper...and they simply slide a steel plate over your one good window.
    Show over,move on people...lol..S.O.B.,got what he deserved.
