7 A.M. — Ziegler Ready For Olympics

Washington Post on Kate Ziegler's Olympic Hopes: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/07/AR2008080703038.html?nav=rss_sports

We're still not sure what we think of the Examiner's characature of the 20-year-old former Bishop O'Connell swimmer, but at least she's ready for the Olympics, according to some mystery Post writer without a byline. Whohoo. Seriously, the Post sends at least four writers out to Beijing for an ungodly amount of money, all the while claiming they are bankrupt. So what do they do? They scoop up a local athlete story from "News Services and Staff Reports." Are you kidding me? Make someone do their job.

I digress. At least the hard-hitting copy states the obvious: "Ziegler is now training for the Olympics as hard as any athlete." If she wants to win, I would hope so.

Just because you're working so hard Kate, Metro Mayhem will be rooting for you. And for a Post byline.
