Rats Jumping Ship

  • The Chicago Sun-Times today named Tom McNamee its editorial page editor after Cheryl L. Reed resigned, saying in a note to her staff she was "deeply troubled" the paper's presidential primary endorsements of Barack Obama and John McCain were subjected to "wholesale rewrites" by people outside the editorial board.
  • Reed's note said the rewriting "severely damages the integrity of the board and makes a mockery of the editorial process," calling the revisions "absolutely antithetical to the vision and purpose of my hiring."
We heard Mope-rah is a member of this same editorial board and we'd encourage her to follow Cheryl Reed's lead and resign as soon as possible.

In the meantime, keep canceling subscriptions. Spread the word among family and friends.

Im sorry. I still read the Sun Times. As is read in the classic book Art of War, know your enemy, one of the best ways is to read his messages, of course it goes on to say you must give the captured postman a horrible death, but thats not necessary, they are killing themselves. It is facinating to watch them die.

Pride goeth before the fall. I really thought that the standing on a ladder to take writer photos thing was going to save them. By the way I dont buy the Sun Times, if I find one sitting around I read it, then I use it to wipe my fat Irish ass, going green ya know.

Tom McNamee is a south-side "Tommy More" guy with several siblings. Bogan grad. He's not forgotten where he grew up.

STNG has very long road to recovery - Reed's exit is a start, but maybe too late.

Why would she resign?... She can run her mouth and get paid?..... No way she is eeeeeeever quitting. In fact, remember the big furor when Felicia Middlebrooks was gonna be let go from a radio station?.....I believe it was Rev. Jesse 'we'll boycott' Jackson who helped pressure them to reconsider. I'll be allowed to moderate these posts before she ever quits or gets fired. Which means never. And when the paper folds, she'll be over at the Final Call.

Barack Obama Bin-Laden says---

Getting rid of Cheryl Reid falls directly into my plans. Just another mere woman who soon will be wearing a burqua.

With Allah's help, I will manipulate all the media until I am elected. Once that happens, say goodbye to your Christian-Judeo values and hello to Islam.

By the way, Allah will forgive me for the Sun-Times revealing that I get pedicures. In order to complete the covert jihad, severe sacrifices must be made.
