The problem goes something like this: A big story breaks. It's everywhere from TMZ.com to the New York Times, and within days it is as stale as a 24-hour old New Orleans French bread.

For example, did you know that Cindy McCain was not always the fashion forward gal you have seen this year? That Joe the Plumber now has an agent and has an eye on a country and western music career? That The Donald is still trying to bail Ed McMahon out his mortgage mess?
