Since you began your boycott, readership has dropped 30% and some days this paper is barely 20 pages. Reporters have been quitting in droves. I thought you were being foolosh but you were being brave and standing up for an entire state that has been terrorized by this rag. I love you for your courage and determination. King George for President.

This is very funny. David Leterman would love this. I stopped buying the St Petersburg Times 2 years ago. Too much gossip and very little news.
Welcome back
