Requiem

 

1. The Actuarial news is grim for newspapers. The younger the person, the less likely to read the paper Paper. Their hope is that this will change as people age. Maybe, maybe not.

2. That’s me too, Old Cat. Some magazines are still useful—The Week, Reason. Nice and compact, convenient, you can read them waiting in line.  I could get the same online, but with more searching.

3. Blogs will drive a stake through the EVIL HEARTs of the Liberal newspapers.

   Basically, they are a tool of the government and industry too. Born to Rule and Regulate you.

   Skipper: Why buy a newspaper when [right here is the TRUTH] and it’s FREE?

   The TRUTH is:  Newspapers have killed more trees than any other industry in America, bar none.

4. OCM: That Indiana pig is in fact oinking a moving duet of “Goodbye Earl”.

   Tabloid newspapers have become self-conscious grandstanders—you can sense them winking at you from behind their headlines.  I miss the days when they were guileless bullshitters.

   Same for country music titles.

5. At my boyhood home, we took both the morning and evening paper. I read them both, starting with the comix, from an early age. No more. And no more evening newspapers.

   Modern country music is now mainstream—it started by appealing to the homesick hillbilly living in Detroit, working on the GM assembly line. I prefer the old type of country that appealed to the hillbilly living in rural route Hardscratch, KY. (near our family home).

6. Oink, listen to what I make the CEO’s in Detroit listen to on Rush Limbaugh’s show in the Motor City. :rulez:

   Mrs. Z is the VOICE - CEO Miller of Delphi I’m sure was listening to her, just like I have to.

   Hey Skipper:  Why don’t we take all of the Des Moines Register’s advertising clients when we put those bozos out of business [BOOB]?  The DMR makes millions.

8. Glenn Reynolds(?) said the murder trial of Scott Peterson was useful in that regard. Whenever he was in a bar, health club, whatever, and he saw it being broadcast, he knew there was no real news to be concerned about.
