Way to go, Terrell...

No, this posting is not about Terrell Owens of the Dallas Cowboys.
It is about the local newspaper in Terrell TX (note to breitbart.tv - Terrell is in Texas, not Oklahoma), the Terrell Tribune, which, uniquely strangely among newspaper outlets, decided to not report on the reality that Barack Obama had won the U.S. Presidential Election in 2008.
The newspaper's publisher apparently has not the slightest understanding of how a couple of sentences can make you look like a small-minded jerk:

The Terrell Tribune's publisher, Bill Jordan, declined an on-camera interview.
"We run a newspaper, not a memory book service," he said. "We covered the local commissioner's race. We thought that was more important."


I thought that the City of Duncanville's egregious campaign of harrassment against the Cherry Pit was dumb enough, but it seems that there is always somebody somewhere determined to demonstrate that they can go one better (or worse) when it comes to small-minded actions that transmit the wrong message about Texas to the rest of the world...
