JUST WHEN YOU THINK THAT IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE

Here we are, a Country in turmoil; in a recession; close to double digit inflation; massive numbers of houses in foreclosure; and a new Federal Administration that is trying to impose a National Socialistic regime; when the latest item is:::

The Arizona Republic newspaper, our main source of news in this area, has decided to cut down on the number of pages and cartoons in the Sunday edition of the paper and inserted an extra page of advertisements in the section! Even my least favorite political cartoon, DOONESBURY, has been reduced to a quarter column. The bright side to this is that the type is so small now, I cannot read it without a magnifying glass, and, quite honestly, I prefer not to see it anyway.

This latest event is really quite inappropriate. Someone needs to register a serious protest and insist that the Sunday cartoon section be restored to its previous number of pages and cartoons.
