Blinebury shames self in Houston rag

[gm]

To see a perfectly awful piece that evidences little, if any, research, go to Fran Blinebury's column in Thursday's Houston Chronicle:

This from a paper that saw fit to run only minimal wire copy throughout the Championships.

Read the thread "Only scandal make the headlines" by Trackstar. It may be time to get out your pen and write a similar note to your local rag.

Bear with me on this one: guy dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter looks up and says, "What the heck [he's not allowed to say the other h-word] are you doing here? You're not due for years." Checks the books and says, "I'm sorry, there's been a terrible mistake, we'll have to send you back." Guy says, "Whew, I had a lot I wanted to get done still." St. P says, "There is one minor hangup; we already destroyed your body." Guy is distraught, but St. P says, "But we can make it for you; you can custom build any body you want."

So the guy says, "Give me the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the looks of Brad Pitt." St. P says, "Done; now what about a brain?" Guy says, "Give me the brain of a sportswriter." St. P gets a quizzical look and says, "A sportswriter?!" Guy says, "Yeah, I want on that has never been used."
