[Pearls Before Swine]

Anybody else see the irony here? The pro-union, pro card-check New York Times is going to close down its subsidiary, the Boston Globe, unless it can get its union-based wage costs down. Its ok for your business to get unionized, though.

[SkyDancer]

OK so instead of loosing 80 million a year they’ll only loose 60 million ... financial genius in play ...

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Liberals are pro-union....until they have to sign the paychecks...

Oh the irony....

The rank hypocrisy is astonishing, isn't it? Do as we editorialize, not as we do.

I would consider it an early Christmas present if this rag folded before summer.

The left used to have an appreciation of irony. Now they are irony.

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, to subsidize a tax credit for home computers and digital devices?
Or, we could use the money to subsidize talk radio! Well, those guys really don’t need any help!

You’ll not see any sympathy from me. These idiots get what they deserve.

The only people I wish would not get hurt in this are the true blood-and-sweat employees. They’re going to get fired for the ills of their bosses. Sad.

The rest of them? Columnists, Journalists. Investigative reporters? Find a new line of work. You’ve done enough damage to the country.
