Exactly
what it claims to be
This is one of the most useful blogs on the feedlot's Great Plains blogroll. It is just what you would expect from the title: a blog that keeps an eye on the city of Omaha and it's immediate environs. It isn't just news and politics, but includes them along with current events, scandalous rumors and everything else the old feeder needs.
I am not the world's healthiest cat, and it has occurred to me that watching the local TV news and reading the Omaha newspaper only makes me feel worse. The way Eye on Omaha writers Bugs Manderson and Mongo Torrey hit the high spots of the local scene leaves me smiling.
The reports are concise, but get into details where details are actually interesting. Critical opinion is there when the story needs it. I never feel like the blog is beating me over the head to convince me of something. There is generally plenty of the droll humor I like as well.
If that isn't enough, you will find some decidedly off-beat but thoroughly entertaining links in the sidebar. These cats link to the Plains Feeder, but that isn't what I'm talking about. It isn't the youth hockey, either, but things like this that help shine up an old man's otherwise dull day.
Eye on Omaha's self description:

A
SENSE OF HUMOR.
