Yeah, Gerry put his stalk right in there. And how.

Interesting how at the time of the Studds matter no one, certainly not among the 'Rats or their friends in the media, demanded, with self-righteous outrage, the resignation of Tip O'Neill, or even bothered to ask what senior 'Rat leaders knew, and when they knew it. I think they covered up the perversion of Gerry Studds for years, and only had to deal with it when forced to. Yet now, the 'Rats are screaming from the rooftops for Hastert's head.
The daily circulation of the Post slumped in the final years of the Schiff era from 700,000 in the late 1960s[citation needed] to approximately 418,000.[citation needed] A resurgence in the 21st century boosted circulation to more than 660,000 in 2006,[30] achieved partly by lowering the price from 50 to 25 cents. Three of every four Post readers read another paper as well.[citation needed] The Post sold 753,116 column inches of display ads in 2004, only about 45% as much as was run in the New York Daily News.[citation needed]
News Corp. does not release figures, but outsiders estimate the newspaper has been losing $15-30 million a year,[citation needed] and some speculate[citation needed] Murdoch operates the paper at a loss because of the political influence the newspaper affords him. Industry experts suggest that the Post cannot become profitable as long as the competing Daily News survives, and he may be trying to force that paper to fold or sell out.[31]
Kind of discouraging, but thanks for the info!
Well the NY POST has been around for a very long time and in a liberal city that is a BIG PLUS if it can last that long. The NY Post is NOT going anywhere. It will be here for a long time. The circulation amount may be different on its front page. Wikipedia is not excactly the source I wanted to go to for the information but I don't have a NY Post at my desk right now.
I certainly wish it all success!
Big, Big Bump.
