  1. What a fucking joke we are. Even though we have far more twits than the Tines and the Journal.

  2. Why does USAT have less than 10% as many followers as the NYT?

    1. The collection of goobers we now have making decisions or simply letthing those with no common sense or perspective dictating news is simply stunning. This aint journalism, kids. But it is barely mediocre celebrity coverage. Does no one actually give a shit anymore?
