Aaaaa, yes, Let me count the ways to spell "INTERNET".

Or, put another way, in a message to the hereafter:

"Hey Katie, old girl, 'Have a nice day.'"

The sustained decline in display advertising tells us the true story here. To think that the premier paper of our Nation's capital has less than a million subscibers -- with a continuing downward trend-line clearly signals its increasing irrelevence and ultimate demise.

These turkeys brought it on themselves. No tears in this corner. Fellow Freepers, have a great weekend.

Asleep at the switch here: "Capitol" -- not "Capital"

Old age is a bit of a challenge sometimes. **S**

And it is bound to get worse in the next few years with the influx of illegal aliens in the outlying Va. & MD. suburbs. Just observing the re-cyling pick-ups going past heavy hispanic areas I noticed that there were no (nada, zero, zip, zilch) newspapers being loaded. I pulled in for a morning coffee and noticed the recycling crew in the same lot. I asked the driver if what I thought I had observed was true. He said,"Yup, but the beer bottle gain still makes for a full load. So the subscriber base is going down the tubes and the advertising rates have to follow. But there be more drunken illegal illitrates to vote the dem party line.

I'm out of here ;>)
