Newspaper editors are getting feisty....
...about the way things are.
Rex Smith of the Albany Times-Union explains why the paper isn't identifying the 24-year-old woman on the lap of a former U.S. representative when he was stopped for DWI. The editor almost taunts readers with the info he knows and they don't, and then invites them to use google.
James Vesely of the Seattle Times calls e-commerce the anti-newspaper because it takes money normally given to newsrooms.
Both show a poignancy for times gone by. Both seem are disappointed by things today. Both, I suspect, are really not liking the way the future looks.

They sure are!
There seem to be two threads here that I'll try to address, even as I have nothing to do with Ed's column. (Should have fired him when I had the chance!)* JR
I notice you made this comment at Ed's brilliant and outstanding political site on just about anything that happens on this planet and universe with his approval first. It appears that Ed has somebody above you by the lap of that former Congressman....
