Monday, Monday: Can't trust that day, Detroit?

As Corporate reportedly scrambles to develop a new cost-cutting plan in time for next week's showdown with Wall Street analysts, speculation has turned to what once would have been unthinkable: closing Monday editions, which have become tissue-thin in some markets. "Our Monday edition could easily be mistaken for a Pizza Hut flyer,'' one reader wrote, without specifying their worksite. "It's that thin. Wouldn't be surprised if it was canned.''

I've illustrated this post with today's Detroit Free Press front page; is its Monday edition a candidate for shuttering? What about your paper?
