Not a bad idea bert. Switch all the liberal slant to conservative; buy it lock stock and barrel for 80 cents of book. If we could raise 10 % of the price, I could probably
broker/dealer the balance!

Sold my stock a while back. Looks like a total turkey. Might better invest in GM.

Heck bert, who wants 'em? I'll throw in a shovel full of dirt after words are said over 'em. Like I've said before, this revoltin' development is breakin' my heart. Really.

Whistle while you work.... ;^)

Why would we want to buy second rate fishwraps which no one wants to buy?

"Knight Ridder has been publishing mostly second-rate newspapers for as long as anyone can remember. Its strategy has been straightforward: Leverage de facto monopoly newspaper status in individual cities into ownership of the classified advertising business in those communities. With high-speed broadband and wireless access now a fact for most Americans, consumers are no longer at the mercy of second-rate information providers."
