Today the official word came down that the anchor of the Philadelphia Eagles defense, Brian Dawkins, has signed with the Denver Broncos. 

Dawkins will be sadly missed!

If you are a nit-wit of a fucking publisher, who has about as much sense as a rock, you will tell your employees that your newspaper will be publishing forever. The truth of the matter is that newspapers look to have the same bright future as lead paint, 8-track players and drive-in movies.

DENVER - The Rocky Mountain News in Denver will publish its last edition Friday.

Owner E.W. Scripps Co. announced on the newspaper’s Web site Thursday that its search for a buyer for the paper was unsuccessful.

Scripps CEO Rich Boehne said in a statement the newspaper is “a victim of changing times in our industry and huge economic challenges.” Scripps says the paper lost $16 million last year.

The News has 230 editorial employees. It will close just two months short of its 150th anniversary.

Considering that both the ownership groups of The Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News and Journal Register Company followed in the footsteps of Tribune Company in filing Chapter 11, I think it is a safe bet that print editions of newspapers will be something that will only be found hanging in a museum in the near fuure. If I were employed by a newspaper at this time, I would strongly consider getting out before the imminent demise comes.

The irony is that The Reporter runs a "Remember When" section – do you think The Reporter will be the main topic of discussion in the next edition.

• As part of the bankruptcy case, the company has asked for permission to pay as much as $1.7 million in bonuses to 30 top officers and key employees should the Journal Register meet certain reorganization goals, including closing more papers and eliminating more employees. The company employs about 3,500 people.

Wow, when one thinks that the swine at JRC's corporate office couldn't stoop any lower – now they want a bonus for putting people out of work and closing papers. How much does greed drive you to become a heartless, fucking ass hole. What next will the execs want? Maybe they will start taking employees 401k contributions and playing Power Ball with them.

But the actions of the douche-wad execs at JRC has drawn attention from State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (CT), who wants to try to block bonuses planned for executives in return for shutting down newspapers and laying off more employees.

And to this I commend you Mr. Blumenthal.

I would encourage anyone else who is outraged by the actions of the JRC corporate execs to contact State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to support him in his efforts.

Here is the contact link for the State Attorney General.

Maybe it is time that we redefine the second amendment. I know that gun lovers, the NRA and our spineless politicians wouldn't dare mention such an action but there is becoming an increasing need.

WAMPUM, Pa. - Authorities say an 11-year-old boy shot his father's pregnant girlfriend in the back of the head while she was lying in bed in their western Pennsylvania farmhouse, then got on the school bus and went to school.

Authorities think the woman was likely shot with a so-called, youth model 20-gauge shotgun that apparently belonged to the boy.

If you are not allowed to grab a firearm and serve your country until you are the age of 18, what business does an 11-year old have owning a shotgun?

The monster that arose in the newspaper industry to devour local community newspapers and spit out their skeletal remains with the expectations of turning vasts profits, has finally bitten off more than it can chew. Debt. And lots of it.

Journal Register Company, who will best be remembered as the poster-child of a bad business model, has filed for bankruptcy.

The executives at JRC ran the company into the ground by turning a blind-eye to talent, refusing to improve on technology and focusing on their own profitability before the product. The executives are probably a bunch of frat guys who beat off tirelessly to a poster of Gordon Gecko.

Is JRC solely at fault for the financial woes facing the company? No, the newspaper industry as as a whole is facing serious financial hardships.

But that does not excuse the executives who have been running their product on a shoe-string budget. The corporate goon squad released this statement regarding the bankruptcy filing:

The Yardley, Pennsylvania-based company said advertising revenue had been driven lower by the housing downturn, declining automotive sales, the retail sector slowdown, a slow labor market that has hurt employment classifieds and a shift to online media, according to court papers filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.

Oh really! It couldn't be the fact that you consider your Editorial department a "revenue losing" department and that readers don't buy a newspaper to read advertisements. Follow that with dwindling circulation numbers which lead advertisers to stray from your product and take their business elsewhere.

Secondly, are the Michigan properties. Who made that call? Have you guys been asleep at the wheel for the past 20 years? Why in the world would you invest so much money into the market surrounding the Detroit area. Was this acquisition based on the strength of the U.S. auto industry? Again, I guess nobody bothered to watch Michael Moore's films "Roger & Me" or "The Big One."

What plans do the JRC execs have now that the company is in bankruptcy?

“We intend to emerge from the Chapter 11 process stronger, leaner and more financially viable in the current environment,” James W. Hall, the company’s chief executive, said in a statement on its Web site. “Our business will continue its normal operations.”

Ok, but you forgot to mention one detail in their Mr. Hall.

As part of the bankruptcy case, the company has asked for permission to pay as much as $1.7 million in bonuses to 30 top officers and key employees should the Journal Register meet certain reorganization goals, including closing more papers and eliminating more employees. The company employs about 3,500 people.

Keep it classy you corporate fucks!
