Politicians must vote to stop animal cruelty

I hope the Telegram & Gazette can publish the names of the Democrats and Republicans who never vote for any of the laws that will stop animal cruelty.

The Telegrams midlife career change

It’s kind of depressing when the newspaper business has come to the point where self-deprecation is perfectly acceptable, it’s no joke. Yesterdays Dianne Williamson column in the T&G tried to make light of the troubles the newspaper business is seeing.
Since the analysts predict that newspapers may soon be obsolete, it’s time to consider a new career. The only problem is, I have no skills that would qualify me for a real job.

It always strikes me sad when I try to imagine what it must feel like to be stuck on a sinking ship. But the reality in this case is the ship didn’t get torpedoed the way many like to spin things, its sinking because the captain is asleep at the wheel.
