Take a sneak peek at the Sunday paper

Spoiler alert: If you like to be surprised by your Sunday Vision section, stop reading right now...

Don't miss Jim Boren's column, where he rants about Assemblyman George Plescia's pleas for "Take your dog to work day" (the man is serious) and other time wasters in the Lege.

Our usual "Two views" feature on the op-ed page this week is replaced with "Three views" on what the three presidential contenders would do about the economy. Very informative.

David Mas Masumoto writes another chapter of his spectacular series on life in the Valley, this one titled "Running against the wind." It's about the difficulty of living in the age of speed for those of us who are more deliberate and thoughtful.

One of my personal favorites from Sunday is a piece by David Broder, where he talks about some think-tank caliber strategies that have been worked out to solve this sticky dilemma the Democrats are in vis a vis Michigan and Florida.

Jim Naughton is a veteran of The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer and of the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla., a journalism think tank. Here is Broder's version of his idea: Because Florida and Michigan both knowingly violated the party rules, they must be punished by having the size of their delegations cut in half. But he would let the remaining 183 delgates chosen in the disputed primaries take their seats and vote on the platform or almost any other issue -- excpet those that impact directly on the presidential nomination.

Broder tosses in his own "crapckpot" solution as well.

The Top 10 list is things we can sell on eBay to get Fresno through the tough economic times: No. 4 is dirt from Running Horse that Donald Trump walked on.

Enjoy!

Sounds both fun and informative. I especially am looking forward to David Broder's return to the pages of The Bee. He is one of the least biased of the political commentators around, well respected in DC and among journalists. Thanks.
