Well now, maybe these good folks will use their unpaid week off to do community service or community organizing for Dear Leader.

[Onelifetogive]

USA Today employees will be required to take one week of unpaid leave between now and July.

That's one way to handle it....or....just maybe, they could quit publishing crap that offends the half of the population that can read and can also afford the price of a daily newspaper...I'm just sayin'...

Aren’t they on the “do not excerpt, do not link” list?

Do they have a website? I just thought they published that paper that all of the hotels give away for free...

After a business trip, they are great for starting fires in the fireplace...

he interviewed Bill Clinton once nd I thought he would end up in his lap before it was over.

[a fool in paradise]

Hotels don’t always give away that paper for free, they’ll set it in front of your door and charge you if you take it inside. Or they will add it to your bill unless you tell them NOT to drop it off...

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Did USA Today endorse the One and bash Bush?
