So, the internet doesnt reach Baltimore. Who will know?
Who would have guessed that a former newspaper reporter would say that we need newspapers? If he thinks that there is no one left to expose abuses by the police, he needs to take a look at http://www.theagitator.com which is a website devoted almost entirely to that issue.

There will always be news and there will always be “newspapers” to satiate my appetite. Why I should be concerned with the form of delivery is beyond my ability to appreciate.
Let expand on my previous comment. BHO talked down the economy since his election and until ten days ago when Bill Clinton told him to be positive.

Since “the guardians” stopped “guarding” long ago, even before the Judith Miller-Iraq disaster at the NY Times, who cares if they die? They have failed their purpose, so they deserve to be history.
I look forward to the day when we can argue about what got us out of this economic downturn — rather than who’s to blame for getting us in it.
