I hope I don’t smell another bailout coming. Has anyone come up with a drink called the BAILOUT yet? Might be a good time for one.
“and they cant even spell bankruptcy correctly.”
Aw Geesh, what do you want, it’s only a newspaper. They aren’t expected to know how to spell these days./sarc

Inside Tribune Newsrooms, Assurances of ‘Business As Usual’ — as Outsiders Worry More Trouble Will Follow
I had to go to the link. Yep. Somebody didn't even bother to use spell check.
Same thing in Dallas. It used to have the moderate Morning News and the leftist Times Herald. When the Times Herald ran into the ground, the Morning News switched to a decidedly leftist slant, and has been in sharp decline ever since.
Of course, current management is too stupid to figure out the equation that leftist bias = declining circulation. They couldn't even make a go of a daily giveaway to commuters. They switched it to weekly, apparently forgetting that their weekly giveaway failed several years ago. (Did I mention that management was stupid? )
The Trib is on the downhill run, stand back.
Regrettably, there is something solid about a paper or a hard bound book that you can't get off of a Blackberry which is obsolete in 3-4 years. Just ask me. On my wife side of the closet is a bunch of old newspapers that we still can read. On my side is a bunch of old computer equipment that makes great boat anchors.
Nobody is willing to pay to read lies...?
Great idea! Think of all the print archives they have that can be recycled!
Good idea! Think T-shirt slogans:
BAILOUTS! WHERE'S MINE?
BAILOUTS! NEED BAIL MONEY.
BAILOUTS! GOT MONEY?
BAILOUT! GOT A BILLION MISTER?
BAILOUT! NEED NEW JET.
BAILOUT! I LOST MY GOLDEN PARACHUTE.
BAILOUT! WILL WORK FOR CONGRESS.
BAILOUT! WILL WORK FOR FREE MONEY.
BAILOUT! MY MORTGAGE IS DUE.
BAILOUT! MY SUV IS WORTHLESS.
Got more ideas? I will share my T-shirt profits with you.
