The problem with Newspapers
Speaking only for me, I want news right now not ten minutes from now. Instant scores, sex scandals (vivid), wars, slaughters, and so on can only affect me if I am the first one on my block to know about it. So if you have news about Obama's appearance on TV this AM you are wasting your time with me; and if you think I give a fat fuck for your opinion you are delusional. Opinion, labeled as such, is desirable mainly because opinion doesn't stink with age but simply matures like fine wine or cheap cocaine. Newspapers with all that writing on them is old, old fashioned, old world, and old watchamacallit.

Whatchamacallit, indeed!
Up to this point I considered myself a reasoned man.
Things are off the rails for me now.
I'm walking out the door tomorrow a new man.
And just tossing my fate on the promise of Obamaland.
I'm tired of all the angst, this could be fun, even after the shooting starts.
When folks got nothin' to lose, ya can bet there's some fun to be had.
And this looks like one big dam joke.
Local weekly's and bi-weekly papers are actually doing OK. Of course they emphasize the really local news. School board and council meetings, High School events, etc...
Our big city newspaper the Advocate stopped printing news a long time ago.
