And I suppose you'll be wanting paid overtime, too?

"Hopefully, they'll merge our paper
with a cafeteria."

-- a Gannett Blog reader, commenting on speculation about newspaper mergers during any reorg of the newspaper division.

    Don't worry everyone! There's hope ahead! Didn't you hear? Gannett's gonna stream Brian Wilson's new album on all its Web sites! (well, a lot of them) This is sure to save the company!

    Hm. Maybe in Montgomery they'll merge us with a Pizza Hut. Of course, they don't really pay enough in mileage for that.

    Go smack around the fresh-out-of-college reporter who wrote it?

    Merging with a cafeteria brings me to a thought. Let me ask a question...When have you ever seen an outlet mall without a Cracker Barrell? New outlet mall opening next to the APP...draw your own conclusion, but don't be surprised if there's a new gift shop/restaurant where the APP once stood. Maybe someone should check Cracker Barrell's opening soon list on their website.
