Well, maybe this is a harbinger of good times ahead...the NYT is running out of treasonous bull excrement to fill its pages, so they must be shrunken. It is a real tragedy for America that the NYT is doing badly and having to cut back.

I guess they'll have to double the lies to make up for it.

[Paleo Conservative]

Will the smaller size still allow it to be used as fish wrap?

The paper even makes the fish smell worse -- so don't use it. My dog, who is an American patriot, will not even pee on THAT paper...it no longer serves any uselful purpose.

Looks like my dog is going to have to be more accurate in the future.

The New York Times plans to shrink the size of its pages

No doubt the left side of the page will not shrink.

[Alberta's Child]

"Dinosaur media" ping.

[tflabo]

Layoffs, downsizing, plummeting circulation..... Brilliant Punchie...saving trees for the global enviroment.

Now, that's funny!

Small pages for small minds?

"New York Times to Shrink Width of Pages.."

It'll fit in litter boxes easier.

[Stallone]

This big?

[Stallone]

Or this big?

[Buckeye McFrog]

good! Perhaps now they will run out of paper before getting to the classified part

I was composing a remark about their manhood . . . but I'm too much of a gentleman to post it. (I'm thinkin' it though.)

We'll just settle for "less treason and cowardice for your money."

The NYT "shrunk" a long, long time ago, in my opinion.

The only thing that I might believe that they print is their Obit column and soumt outrageous advertisements.

"But the Times has pledged that despite these cut-backs, there will be no diminishing of their role as the most important intelligence gatherer for Al Qaeda."

[talleyman]

So true!

"My daddy gave me this newspaper. It's mine. And I am a poofer... heheheeee!"

[Eastbound]

" . . . making them one-and-a-half inches narrower, the newspaper said in its Tuesday edition."

To match their shrinking point of view, I suspect. Tabloid-size in six months. Next year, a monthly, in-house organ for its retired alumni.
