Article Excerpt:
Earlier this week, I was assigned to interview a second grader who had been deemed a "Kid of Character," the latest installment of a weekly segment featuring a local child who had been nominated for his outstanding behavior. This week's selection, a seven-year-old boy, had been chosen due to his dedication to recycling and his love for the environment. The interview went very well--aside from a few conversational digressions expected from any little kid.

As I was wrapping up the discussion, I asked the perfunctory catch-all question, "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"I really hate George Bush," he responded, his brow furrowing. "Why?" He proceeded to slam the president for the Alaskan drilling proposal, informing me that all the president cares about is "oil and money."
