but nobody's mentioned the Richmond Times-Disgrace (Times-Dispatch). I was scrollin' thru the thread to add that. It's also referred to as the Times-Distress But Disgrace fits best 'cause their offices are on Grace Street.

I didn't know that they were on Grace Street - it's just what my husband always calls the paper.
He's from Richmond, and we visit family back there regularly. Nice town, very strange mix of the old patrician and the howlingly liberal. But the museums put Atlanta's attempts in that department to shame.

The RTD has never been quality, and they're drifting more to the left.
Michael Graham (local talk radio jock) is discussing the embarassment that Richmond is. The local police chief just came out and blamed violence on gangs...doh! Last month he (chief) said it was the people's fault.

Before canceling my subscription some years ago, I used to write out the check to the Washington Lying Thieving Post.
They cashed the check every time.
I took it as an admission of guilt.

"LA Slimes"
When I canceled the "paper" in 1966 I called it Stalin's PR firm and the LA Red Press to the person on the phone.

I used to have a friend in the factory where I once worked who became the foreman. He came up to me one day with a big grin on his face and said "I made the sh!thouse walls, I must be doing a good job!" He took the obsene comments angry workers had left on the toilet stalls as a compliment.
I wonder how many columnists like this fellow lurk at Free Republic looking to see what we say about their lastest offering? If you think about it, it's probably the closest thing they can get to instant gratification. Who cares if the guy who works in the newsroom with you says "nice column Bill"- of course he's going to say that. But with FR a columnist can get instant criticism of his work and ideas from the people that actually matter- his readers. Even if they're readers from the opposite end of the political spectrum, it must be gratifying to see how it pisses 'em off.

Did they include the Memphis' The Banana Appeal?
