Newsweek? I do not think anyone has read that rag since the 1990s...

Exactly. Prior to 2008 one newspaper and magazine after another was disappearing because "dinosaur media" was being supplanted by the internet. AND YET since 2008 these rags have shown REMARKABLE staying power.

Makes me wonder, when the shovel-ready money was handed out, on which end of the shovel were they? When government money is spent to combat global warming, are they listed among Obama's combatants? My ignorant mind wonders.

If so, I would expect them to go beyond all previous excesses if an administration change led to confiscation of their "EBTs"
