Washington Post on Washington Post Earnings

Glum. Sad. No hope. Just a few of the words I would use to describe what is happening in the print industry right now. The Washington Post is best in class and even they are struggling right now.  Check out this article. Bad news indeed.

Thank goodness for the internet.

I Voted

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I voted. My wife voted too.

I hope you will all get out and vote. If you don’t, don’t whine or complain. Being able to vote and be involved in politics is a uniquely democratic experience.

We are fortunate as a people to be able to vote. Stating the obvious - get out the vote - every vote counts.
