While all the whos of Whoville were at McDonald's eating, the Grinch from his lair started plotting and scheming.

Gherkin-flavored fries and odd socks will send them crackers.

So try the Grinch's new meal and head down to Macers.

Until 4th of Jan from 11 a.m., price and participation may vary while stocks last grinched for adults.

It's the late show, pot show with Stephen Colbert.

Folks, most of the time we write a meanwhile introduction, but sometimes the journalism and

English students at Tenafly High School in New Jersey are asked to write their own meanwhile intros for a class assignment. So we just steal theirs in the easy meanwhile intro that is this meanwhile intro. You know I spend my time right over there. All of my poor, nugatory time right over there. Right over there. Selecting only the sweetest pies from the

bakery of news. Basking in the new sun. Nominating only the most distinguished seat. At the

Gilded Atulia of Truth. Selecting only the most pristine news items. And baking them into a delicious

dessert of truth. My tan reaches its peak in the soft glow of the evening. Six million

ton platform bench of erroneous information and false witnesses.

Sparkling artisanal commentary.

The full-bodied, faintly nutty and somewhat chocolatey mug of news.

That is my nightly monologue.

But sometimes.

Just sometimes.

Sometimes.

I end up rummaging through the back alley behind the news bakery. I face plan. I find myself picking up a grubby plastic soda cup. The unwashed bucket of information gruel. The septic sludge that is my segment. Slightly under cooked casserole, that is my segment. Diabetes inducing Baja Blast Concentrative Syrup. That is my segment. The hospital call worthy sludge that is my segment. The economy section mix of news, that is my segment. The hospital callworthy sludge that is my segment.

The economy section mix of news, that is my segment.

The coffee stain, that is my segment.

Meanwhile.

Thank you, Tannafly, journalism and English students.
