Should I cancel my subscription to the J-S?

I about had a friggin' aneurysm this morning when I saw the front page. Right below the fold, they provide a tit-for-tat response by Bobby "Slumdog" Jindal to Obama's speech last night.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did the J-S EVER give the Democrats front-page space rebut ANYTHING that ever came out of Bush's mouth, regardless of how stunningly idiotic it might have been?

For Chrissakes, should I be paying $16 a month to support an organization that's carrying water for the Republican Party?

1. Wisconsin has no more progressive daily papers.

Too bad, too. Both the old Milw Urinal and the Mad City C(r)ap Times were great papers. I say dump the Urinal-Sentinel and content yourself with the Shepherd Express.

2. what options are there

for my work and just in general, i need to know what is going on
The journal website is useless at best.

1 horse town with a 1 horse news media.

3. Sounds like a great LTTE

if you can get them to print it.

4. I was just in last week

so I'm on the side lines for a couple of months.

But did you see what they did today? Two front page headines -- one about Obama's tax hike and the other on the omnibus spending bill.

Get it? Tax and Spend?

What a bunch of evil trolls they are...

My wife is not as comfortable as I am when it comes to using the internet to gather news (and would miss her morning newspaper), so I may be stuck with subsidizing their crap for a little longer.

Besides, the cat likes to jump on the table and sprawl across whatever article we're trying to read. She can't do that with my monitor!

6. I've had a cat sprawl across a keyboard, though.

They have ways.

5. I'm paying $1.99 a week!

About a year ago I got that rate, and this month I was able to renew at the same rate. And I get more than $2 in coupons out of it in the Sunday paper each week, making it basically free.

I'd call them and ask--can't hurt. ;)

I should add that this is a 7-day a week subscription.
