Reporter vs Columnist
I'm pretty sure what I learned today is common knowledge, but I only pay attention to things that have relevence to my hedonistic life, so this information sorta got by me. Now that there is direct relevancy in my fabulous life, I know the difference between a Reporter and a Columnist. Read on.
While a reporter and a columnist are both considered journalists, a reporter basically gathers information, creates an unbiased and objective report and then spews it to the mass media.
A columnist writes a regularly feautured article or column, but gets to have more fun by sharing their own opinion and point of view in their own unique, personal style and voice.
I guess it's pretty damn obvious and lame, but I never really thought about it before.
So, guess why I know this now?

Not the one I blah-gged about, but a better one. Didn't you get my e-mail?
No I didn't get the email..

That Sonoma is a dangerous place? I saw on TV a few minutes ago that suspect for crime is free. Sonoma must so dangerous! And I think Tacoma is also a dangerous place to live...
I'm not entirely sure I know what you're talking about. Tell me more about this suspect for crime.
"A judge dismissed child pornography charges Thursday against former JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr after prosecutors said they didn't have enough evidence to take the case to trial."

Sonoma is dangerous!
Yikes, that was scary. But that was Sonoma County, not the town where I live.
