Here's a news flash: Not only is the endorsement of The Palm Beach Post not important, The Palm Beach Post is not important.

I live in southern Palm Beach County, and I haven't subscribed to the PBP in 4 years. Hard to imagine exactly what free gift they'd have to offer to make me reconsider.

The only thing the Post is good for is breaking the entertainment lineup for SunFest.
