Mourning the Rocky Mountain News

I wonder how much longer I will be reading a newspaper

They are folding up right and left.

I don't think I can make it without newspapers. I live for the Sunday Comics. I am still depressed over losing Calvin and Hobbes and now Opus is gone again.

I may have to start watching the Jerry Springer Show or professional wrestling.

Meanwhile nobody here talking about the switch from analogue to digital TV. Why should they? I am sure everyone here has cable TV. But for me and my friends it is worse than Y2K.

I feel sorry for people who had to get under the covers as a kid to listen to Paul Harvey.

In the forties we had Gang Busters, The Lone Ranger, The Shadow, The Inner Sanctum. Seems like a deprived childhood to me to listen to Paul Harvey.

Sorry I am blogging the boards again.
Looking for a fight

I am just bummed out about the Rocky Mountain News. I used to read it every time I passed through Denver. A great news paper.

I remember JFK would have seven newspapers delivered to his desk every morning.
I think that might have been one of them.

"The times they are a changing..." Robert Zimmerman

That was then and here we are still changing.

The adage 'changing with the times' seems more "changing for the times' without a clue to what all these changes are going to bring, only what the have stolen.

Does anyone here have any trust in Republicans? Them and the Conservatives leave me baffled with a cold, creepy feeling after hearing them prattle on and on with not a positive word to be heard. I don't think they've ever been as pathetic as they are today. I wish they'd move to Canada like the Whigs did way back when... :)

"The times they are a changing..."
I know the times are changing, but so am I. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up. I am one step in back of myself always.

He is no Bob Zimmerman but this is still a good song

I see the changes, and I feel the same away about the republicans. Did you hear their great white hope Jindal's rebuttal speech to Obama's speech last week. Ludicrous.

Cecil I never thought Obama had a chance. I was sure McCain would win.

Trying to keep the faith.
