I was listening to Hugh Hewitt as I made my way into work yesterday and at 30 minutes after the hour the few minutes of local news and traffic came on.

Among the items worthy of mention at 3:30 p.m. yesterday: That the latest American Idol runner-up appeared on "The View" and sang her version of "Over the Rainbow."

Who made the editorial decision to include that tidbit? You've only got a minute or two for the news and you include that? I must be losing my mind.
