Our Paper: Unbiased, Hard-Hitting
...Yessirree: unbiased unless it is private enterprise; hard-hitting unless Teh Gummint is at isue. But don't take my word for it:And yes, the headline at the left is over the very same story most of us saw pointed to as an example of the runaway growth of government.
You could re-write the second one to read "GOVERNMENT-RUN HOMES MASSIVELY OVERSTAFFED" or "MORE FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE IN GOVERNMENT -RUN HOMES."
Oddly enough, out here, the "GOVERNMENT JOBS OVERLY GENEROUS" story ran with one that said "STATE JOBS NOT AS GENEROUS AS COMMONLY THOUGHT" or something like that. It failed to make the point, though.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

You know that Web site "This Is Why You're Fat"? We need one for newspapers called "This Is Why You're Failing". I'd visit that Web site .
