The UGH Report

Well, I'm at it again. I just can't seem to get a handle on my ADD. Guess it's God's way of keeping me busy and out of trouble. I had "one of those moments" today. I seem to get inspired in unusual, yet simple ways. I was driving back to the office after enjoying lunch with my family when I had a crazy thought. Why not start a daily blog to respond to all the crazy, false, even silly news that pops up around the world? So, I've done it.

Say hello to The UGH Report. Have you ever read a news article or seen something that just made you say, "Ugh!" Well, that's where The UGH Report comes in. This daily blog will feature some absurd, unusual, or flat out false news story from somewhere around the globe. I will post this news item and then write a few lines in response to it.

What's the purpose of this blog? It's about starting dialogue with folks who otherwise wouldn't set eyeballs on any of our other sites (i.e. bebroken, menofpurity, hopecounseling, etc.). I want to launch a site that has the potential for getting people emotional, whether positively or negatively. I want a forum where people from around the world can start asking questions about life, God, truth, lies, whatever. Dialogue seems to be the doorway to change.

You can help get the dialogue started by submitting your "ugh-worthy" news stories to news@theughreport.com. The site is just now up and running.

Oh, by the way, I thought it was pretty cool that the name of the site fits pretty well with my last name - daUGHerty. Coincidence or a God-thing? Hmmm...

The site will soon be linked directly at www.theughreport.com. For now, the url is http://ughreport.blogspot.com. Still working out a few hosting issues. Once it's up, be sure to subscribe to the site feed, which will be updated daily.

Enjoy.
