Seattle newspaper went out of business on Sunday. Catch this letter to the editor printed in the last edition.......
Editor,
So sad to see the P-I winding down. Every day there's less and less to read. But it's so hard to run a business these days, isn't it? What with over taxation, overregulation, extortionist lawsuits, runaway liability expenses, hostile labor unions, it's a miracle any business in King County survives. And the P-I, after all, is only a business.
But wait a minute.
Haven't the editorial pages of your newspaper always been for more taxes, for more business regulation, for more reasons to sue a business, for stronger labor unions, for anything and everything that makes running a business the arduous and thankless chore it has become? Yes, I do believe that's true.
So, maybe, just maybe, you idiots richly deserve the fate that awaits you. The chickens are coming home to roost.

LOL - good one.
That is sad...I hate to see newpapers go out of business...but the times are changing...they better get on the internet and start charging if they want to survive. I want to get an Iphone, Blackberry or Verizon something myself...as soon as I figure out which one does what.
