In an Associated Press story in 2004, I let my creative juices flow this way:

Back in January, I bid farewell to life as we know it and voiced a few concerns about an Associated Press story on the impending end of the world.

Faith in a homeless man's 'golden voice'
Earlier this week, my husband sent me a random YouTube video because it was from the Columbus Dispatch where I interned once upon a time. It only had a few thousand hits, but I bet at the time that the YouTube video would probably get the homeless man a job. Little did I know that the man with a “golden voice” would explode into the viral video of the week, leading to a film offer with Jack Nicholson, a job offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers and a reunion with his mother on the NBC’s Today show. Now Ted Williams is dealing with the “choking” publicity and says that he feels like Susan Boyle or Justin Bieber.

'Fear not ... I bring you tidings of great joy'
One of my childhood heroes — right up there with “Little House” author Laura Ingalls Wilder, Celtic great Bill Russell and jazz pianist Dave Brubeck — was cartoonist Charles M. Schultz. I still cannot believe that Schultz died (February 12, 2000) only hours before his poignant farewell to his readers ran in American newspapers.

Religious voices: Beck, Colbert & Leibowitz
This morning, I received my annual email from The Jewish Daily Forward, announcing the “Forward 50,” the newspaper’s list of the year’s 50 women and men who have made a “significant impact on the Jewish story in the past year.”

A dog who prays, no really
My husband is a cat person, which means that he grumbles whenever the dogs in our neighborhood howl over every siren or bark at every squirrel. So when we watched the video of a dog who says grace, I expected him to barf or maybe roll his eyes. Nope, the video generated a good chuckle before we read the rest of the story on CNN.

Rockin' with the Aqua Buddha
As you would imagine, the whole Rand Paul affair is a pretty big deal at the Louisville Courier-Journal. In fact, the newspaper’s lengthy profile of the candidate — paralleling a Jack Conway profile of similar length — began like this:
