      <![CDATA[Recently I spoke to apartment doorman about our former former neighbor Debra Pickett. She lived in building and later her future husband during times when Suntimes gave Deb great assignments. Many trendy restaurants and celebrities clamored for Deb to feature then in her colume. Jobs change as do readers expectations, but I must admit that I'd still enjoy seeing Debra interview celebrities like Britney or Trump.

      <![CDATA[Why do people--including Debra Pickett and poster Hobbes--persist in using the phrase "full-time mom" to describe a mother who doesn't work outside the home? Do mothers cease being mothers when they have an outside career? Are fathers who have jobs outside the home part-time fathers?

      <![CDATA[The breastfeeding story idea gets at everything that is going haywire these days at the Sun-Times. Where did all the news go? The front of the paper is filled with wire and the news of the absurd. The editor and publisher are too busy hobnobbing with the powerbrokers (Daley, Blagojevich, Natarus and Burke) to care about writing critically about them. Instead, let's try the Tribune for mismanaging the Cubs. Or put a Sam Zell puff piece out front. An "independent newspaper"? Hah! Not long ago, the paper used to be one of the 10 papers that "did it right." Where has that paper gone?

      <![CDATA[Darn -- fewer columns about someone's boyfriend. I know my newspaper reading experience will be diminished greatly now that I won't see thrice-weekly, unfunny recaps about a relationship I have absolutely no reason to care about. Guess I'll stick to being a captive audience for the repetitive, unfunny stories of co-"workers."

      <![CDATA[Obviously the breastfeeding story idea was distantly, if at all, related to her decision. People throw out story ideas all the time. Sometimes they're not great, and the reporter says so.
    
    It would be wrong if her quitting came off as a protest of some sort because of this story idea. But the way this story is written, that's just the impression that will be spread.
