A movement is stirring to keep the Seattle Post Intelligencer going.
According to a P-I employee website, journalists plan to keep an online version of their paper going for at least a couple of months if the paper stops publishing, which could happen mid-March.
The goal is to get subscribers and philanthropists to fund the online version.

Are you going to be the first to give to this worthy cause?

Give them all the money they’re asking for. In Zimbabwe dollars.
Not to worry. We’re getting all of the Pro-Obama propaganda free from the Cable Networks. I assume this Paper is of that genre.
OH MAN! From the comment section at the link!

I Have a Ton of Stuff to Donate!
Like my hopes, my dreams, and a lot of other stuff I invested in voting for this uneducated pr!ck who is in the White House now. My neighbor - who I now believe is a complete moron - told me last year, “You have to vote for Obama. He will bring change. He will end the power of lobbyists. He will end earmarks. The economy will stabilize within his first weeks in office. And your stock portfolio will increase in value just by having his steady leadership in charge.” I think I will go throw a rock through my neighbor’s window. I wasted my vote, and now we are stuck with this empty suit for the next four years. But believe this: I will not be snookered into voting for a Democrat ever again. As for the Seattle P-I, I hope it goes the way of the Obama administration: gone, and quickly.

What’s a “journalist” to do when even the liberal slackers of Seattle won’t even pay for your dribble?
Seems appropriately American considering their statute of Lenin in the town square.
The print version chafes my butt when I wipe. The online version can’t be worse. They may be on to something here.
The Lenin statue is in Ballard, but point well taken.
Here’s my fear. Rural people who cannot afford the converter is shut out. The papers are gone. Is it their own fault or is it a plan? They shut down talk radio and tax the crap out of the internet. Cell phones are dependent on satelites. A lot of “peasants” will be out of the loop.
These people are learning it’s the conservatives who invest and spend the most money. Get rid of the “rich” and nobody eats!
This one’s pretty good too:
“Obama is eliminating charitable donations. This is the change you wanted, and you voted for. Live by change, die by change.”
I think there are going to be a lot of long-term unemployed Seattle reporters. They need to go to community college and learn a useful trade.
