Yeah, I did. I noticed it when I read it again. Just didn't have time to put an "Ignore me" note out yet.

There is no single statement that more clearly sums up why the paper has gone straight to hell ans stayed there.

They're not even bothering to try and bring these people back into the fold. They clearly consider anyone who they're calling to be nothing but a mouth-breathing, right-wing Neanderthal who's too dumbed down by Fox News to even listen to their enlightened reasoning. They're not explaining that they endorsed Specter and some local Republicans, they're bludgeoning these people with this stuff.

This is nothing more than yet another left-wing exercise to "prove" just how much more intelligent and morally superior the Inquirer people are than those grubby little Jesus freaks who voted for "The Chimp." It can't be anything else - are they really so dense that can't see just how insulting this script is?

If they want to talk, that's a bummer. But a couple of talking points:

????????????????

It's the Inquirer. There memos make about as much sense as their stories.

They can get a 50 percent discount on the rate by mentioning that they had stopped the paper due to election coverage.

For a while there it was just about impossible to get them stop delivering after you cancelled.

it's fish wrap in our house along with the Courier Post....the only thing worthwhile is the sports section.....and the web site (subscription) is useless...
