Can it get any more boring than this?

The Page 1 lead story in The Record of Woodland Park today is about weatherizing homes, red tape and delay. This is news? Do readers really need a Washington correspondent who turns in such tripe? (Photo: Wrap this fish with The Record.)

The "it doesn't affect us" mantra of the editors has demoted the European air paralysis story to inside pages. But I'm wondering about its impact on such international companies as the U.S. headquarters of Mercedes-Benz in Bergen County, and on imports of food, fish and flowers that usually arrive daily at Newark airport.

If you live in Hackensack, Teaneck, Englewood or anywhere else in Bergen, don't bother with Local today. You won't find any news about your town there.
