Salem | Why they're ready for 12/21/12 endtimes

"There is zero chance our corporate owners will let us go home and skip the put-out-the-paper thing." 

-- Statesman Journal writer K. Williams Brown, in a satirical column yesterday about the paper's news coverage plans for the predicted apocalypse. Brown imagines the paper's story lineup; the need to pay reporters overtime (!!!), and editors buying pizza to feed the newsroom, "like they do on election night."

    This just begs the question: who will you buy pizza from at the end of the world? Dominoes or Pizza Hit?

    Election night overtime? Nah, just work your 40 Monday and Tuesday and if anything happens Wed-Sunday we'll cover it next week.
