Bye Felicia...
ReplyDeleteGuess this digital media thing isn't working to well.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Star has as a point-of-sale advertisement for the Sunday paper the amount of grocery coupons enclosed in their paper, you have to think that the end can't be too far off.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the editorial board?
Clean-up in aisle six!
Gotta wonder who received one of the "invitations" to take early retirement.
ReplyDeleteThey've had so many layoffs and buyouts over the years that few veterans remain standing.
On the editorial board, maybe Helling and Kraske will exit together like the odd pair of Yael Abracadabra and Lewis DoBad.
Buh and bye!
ReplyDeleteThis is all about finagling retirement monies and such before it all falls down once and for all.
ReplyDeleteI am not looking forward to reading the Dave Helling blog. But I guess I have to.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Kraske can get a job at a local statuary.
