A Matter Of Opinion

Monday’s Loose Thread

    Like you didn’t see this coming.
    Industry analysts have been predicting this since 2004. IMO, the real story is the distressing decline in bird purchases. You know—fewer bird owners=less newpapers sold.
    Sad that.

    You mean newspapers are used more by kidnappers, than even parakeet owners and fresh fish hawkers… ?

    So their is what, two or three thousand kidnappings a day in spokane? Were do you get insurance for that?

    On an unrelated note, we’re working up an editorial that supports kidnapping, fish-wrapping and bird ownership.
