The New York Times' high-flying days are over.
Yesterday, the struggling publisher disclosed that it had put its 12-year-old corporate jet on the market.
With newspaper ad revenue in a nosedive, the company is being forced to sell its private plane and other assets to raise cash.

Ping!
Maybe the Dems can purchase it for President Pelosi?
exactly. what did the NYT say about Citi buying a private jet again?
Remember the line in Hitchcock’s masterpiece North by Northwest? One guy says, regarding the hero’s predicament:
“So horribly sad. How is it I feel like laughing”?
The Slimes stock hit an all-time low of $3.44 last month, then rose over 4. Today it almost went back to the low, but after it hit $3.51 started back up again.
Looks like it will be a long slow death.
Boo, bloody, hoo.
It’ll go back up after Obama throws it a billion dollar bailout. Then another billion dollar bailout two months later because most of the original billion dollar bailout has gone missing.

Companies that don’t run efficiently, and then they print exaggerated stories that they call truth, should keep going down...down. Adios, good luck Carlos Slim!
LMFWAO!
Carlos Slim is getting 14% on his money and I suspect he will call the loan fairly soon.
How about we get someone in Congress to propose a TAX!
A TAX on NEWSPRINT!
Whereas the production of newspapers causes trees to be cut down, hauled by polluting trucks to polluting paper mills, and hauled from paper mills to publishers and
Whereas the production of newspapers requires toxic ink and solvents and energy wasting machinery and
Whereas the distribution of newspapers requires the use of dirty internal combustion engines and
Whereas a large portion of every landfill is used for discarded newspapers
Therefore:
Be it resolved that a Newsprint tax, of $1,000.00 per pound, be charged to EVERY newspaper with a daily subscription, within the United States!

We should get some Republican to propose THIS as an amendment to any “cap and trade” or “carbon tax” proposal that comes up!
Maybe we can make it like “Cap and Trade” and use the revenue generated, from this tax on dirty dinosaur newspapers subsidize a tax credit for home computers and digital devices?
Gray Lady Down! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
And tomorrow will be buying a bigger and newer jet.
Here’s to hoping that is a long, treacherous, painful death spasm before they succumb...
