The sooner these marxist dirtbags go out of busines, the better. We don’t call it the Red Star for nothing.

I look forward to when The State here in SC is just a bad memory. It is a worthless newspaper.

Last Wednesday I stopped taking it 7 days a week to Sundays only. I emailed this author and told him that when the last one out of building that turns out the light...well I will be the in the parking lot doing the happy dance.

Good for you! Did the author at the newspaper answer your e-mail?

By the time you get the paper, it’s old news. I still am taking the paper 7 days a week. The only hesitation is finding out about local sales, close-outs, etc. The online paper doesn’t run the same ads as it does in the print version. Other than that I can’t wait until they’re all gone.

LOL!
You beat me to it!

There's one who won't be missed around these parts!

Molly Ivins, R.I.H.

With almost 400 journalists at its peak, it staffed one of the largest newsrooms for a paper its size and had a fat news hole for stories.

Boo-frikkin-hoo.  They can eat dog food as far as I'm concerned.
