Just in case you aren't quite sure who is appearing tonight

  SOURCE: Cleveland Plain Dealer Online Cookie used to love reading the newspaper.  It set my world straight for the day. When we moved from the Eastern Seaboard to the Midwest, it was a bit of a jolt.  Alas, The Cleveland Plain Dealer which used to be a very fine paper is now no longer just that.  Instead of yesterday's news, the next morning, now the news that they claim is content can be from two days ago to two months ago. The breaking content is minimal.   This probably is from their TV listing feed - something they don't have anything to do with. In the publishing world, when I used to write romance novels in the early 80s, we used to refer to a certain type of padding as "Fuckie Fudging".  Lots of ooooooh's and ahhhhh's to up the word count on seducing (not sex, seduction) scenes.  Well, isn't this an example of a type of Fuckie Fudging?
