Re: Ax Falling at Star-Bulletin
As Leo Lakio noted, the big news up here in the Pacific Northwest was the end of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer as a newspaper proper, making Seattle a 1-paper city. I myself preferred the PI over the Times, I just preferred the style of writing they had there and when you go to the PI website, much of that "essence" is gone. Fortunately many of the writers I paid attention to have their own websites and/or blogs, so it's easy to follow if one wants to.
When I lived back home, Star-Bulletin was always the paper I grew up enjoying, riding my bike to Kamamalu and picking up a paper at 3:30pm every day on my bike. Even though it's turning into something tabloid sized (when I initially read that, I thought that meant it would be the size of "Honolulu Weekly"), it still means slimming down, and that may be good for the short term but it still leaves uncertainty for the long term. The recent skit on SNL about where all of the comic strips will go is a reminder of what we're missing out on.
After high school, had I moved to Seattle, I would have wanted a chance to write for the PI. Had I moved back home, I wanted to try to write for the Star-Bulletin. But I managed to make the paper there during the whole Karen Zacharias episode.

Yes, and he's a little hard to recognize wearing a nose and sunglasses
