The irony of the Detroit Free Press.
OK, so I heard the story on Mike Malloy and decided to go and look. Turns out that the website for Detroit Free Press is www.freep.com

That is just too weird.

2. Not weird at all. Been calling it that for years.
It's been the "Freep" since way before FR came online. Believe me, been reading it since the '60s. In Detroit, that's the way it's always been.

3. Yep,
if you mention FReepers to folks here in Michigan they think you are talking about readers of the Detroit Free Press. Funny, isn't it?
