LDS Broadcaster Gets an Award!

It's me, Katie, reporting that independent, conservative talk-radio personality Glenn Beck won a Marconi Award yesterday, for "Network Syndicated Personality of the Year"! He says he didn't even attend the awards ceremony, because he never wins any awards he's been nominated for. In fact, friends called his home at 11 p.m. to tell him the news! CONGRATS, GLENN! By the way, Glenn claims that his is the 3rd most listened-to radio program in the nation.

Wal-Mart Employee: 'What you want on the cake?' Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'. You just can't fix stupid!
