Gonzo – a limerick film review

The story of a journalist named Hunter
Who used drugs and drank lots of liquor
Writing made him a celeb.
But now he is dead
Although he inspired a generation of writers.

Another Wisconsin newspaper moves to the Web

From the Chicago Tribune:

In a bid to offset slumping ad sales and rising costs, The Daily Telegram in Superior, Wis., said Thursday it will publish the majority of its 118-year-old paper on the Internet starting this fall.

The afternoon paper, which has a circulation of about 6,000, will print only two issues a week, down from its current six. It wasn’t clear yet which days the paper will print, said Ron Brochu, executive editor.

The Superior/Duluth area provides a similar example to Madison – an area with two dailies basically in the same town.  I wish the paper luck, and plan to watch closely as changes take place at The Daily Telegram.

Troubles continue

Still having issues with the latest version of Wordpress.  I plan to move the site to new webhosting soon which may help with some of the probems I am currently dealing with.  I am also working on a complete redesign of the site, just because it needs one.

If you stop by and the site is down, this is why.  I will post a new update once everything is koshar again  Thanks for your patience.
