[imc-wmass-editorial] Limbaugh Feature?

[Tribal Scribal]

Joe Sixpack here. I wrote that piece, but have no strong feelings one way or 
the other about whether it goes up. I WOULD like to say however that more of 
us need to get into the act of writing new features. As an example: Scott 
Ritter will be at Traprock Peace Ctr on Friday night,
12/19 and it would be excellent to have a feature about his talk. There are 
seeming endless opportunities in WMass to do stories on. We all know that, 
but it's not being done.

d.o.
