Perhaps there’s more national media on the island than usual and they needed to get out a story to justify their trip?  See below.

Am I jealous they’re in Hawaii?  Yes.  Do I really care what the journalists are up to between live shots of Obama vacationing?  Nope.

The crawler was asking for donations, but this caused me to not want to donate.  I’m not anti-charity, I’m anti-messing with shows people want to watch.

Fools.

In any case, the point of me writing about it is that the State Journal decided to do some navel-gazing and wrote their own article about how it was picked up by Drudge.  “Hey, look at us, we’re famous!” at its best.

What is a govener?

With a title of “City fines elderly for not clearing sidewalks enough,” one would expect to hear about how an old bed-ridden person has received numerous fines for snowy sidewalks.  Instead, you get an article about “Nick” (no last name given) and his neighbors, with only a brief mention and a quote from his 78 year old neighbor.  The article is really about unclear definitions of what a clear sidewalk actually is.

The article has no byline – I wouldn’t claim credit for it either.  It redundantly uses a dollar sign and the word dollar: “$109 dollar”.  I have a feeling more of the story is in the video linked on the page.  But, since the video link is to tiny, and the image doesn’t link to the video as well, I’m thinking most people don’t even notice it.  Which means that the article’s text should really explain what’s going on, and it doesn’t.
