We only get a Sunday paper for it has two crossword puzzles and other word games to keep us busy.

The ads and inserts get tossed and we never read further than the headlines. Except for the sports page in the "porcelain library" nothing else gets so much as a second of our time.

We have also found that local TV news has stories that we have already read, commented on and thoroughly dissected on FR three days before they air a 30 second newsbit.

Weather is interesting, but in Central Florida we had 351 days of sunshine last year, so variety is not the norm. Just a casual perusal of the weather for any and all tropical activity and if the chance of rain is 50% or higher, take the umbrella to the golf course (to cover the bag and clubs) or play in the AM.

Dinosaur Media, indeed. The local library archives for newspapers is the LeBrea Tar Pits of the 21st Century.

Interesting that the article failed to mention all the WaPo staffers, including several of the paper’s stars who just quit and joined the Politico.com...hardly a vote of confidence for the future of the paper..in multimedia or any other form
