I haven't bought a newspaper in over 5 years. Can't say that I miss them, to be honest.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

I'd feel a lot better about newspapers if Mr. Nina didn't feel compelled to fling each page skyward as soon as he's finished reading it.

At least that's how our kitchen looks in the morning after he leaves for work...

With due respect to both writers, they sound more like union laborers trying to hang on to their buggy whip manufacturing jobs rather than the professional persuaders that they are supposed to be.


Newspapers still survive because of one thing -- advertising. The news is just the occasion for it, and the pocket change that they get from people actually purchasing the paper is just the icing.
The dogma lives loudly within me.
