    Looks like Freedom will declare bankruptcy this week some time.

    Sigh. Good luck to everyone there. I know some folks there. Saw a job opening for a copy editor/designer for the Register. Said the pay was mid to upper $40K. With no relocation expenses. Blew me away.

    Freedom is putting up roadblocks in its bankruptcy by declaring a million documents confidential.

    Among them: A Dodgers schedule and poetry.

    I think the wolf's in the door now, and appears to have run of the house...

    Not encouraging news for Freedom folks. Still know a few guys at a smaller gig in this chain. Looks like they'll need some luck tossed their way in the coming months.

    Pray for the plague to visit whoever dreamed up that malignant pile.

    Disturbing. "True Life?" probably warrants a new thread.

    It has been suggested by our editor in order to save money that instead of sports staff covering games, we could have parents who were there submit stories.
    I can see it now ....

    Billy Jackson, of whom whose dad, grandmother and I are very proud, guided the Fighting Sloths to victory Friday night, rushing for seven yards on three carries in Little Town High's 53-14 win over Smithville.
    In a lesser role, little Timmy Jenkins rushed for seven touchdowns.
