Today at lunch, some quesadilla grease dripped out onto my beard, and it took me a full 20 minutes to realize why I kept smelling cheese.
And in two and a half months, I’ll be responsible for a tiny person.
Dispatch kills The Other Paper ⇢
The Other Paper’s final issue will come out January 31, 2012. (via Donewaiting)
This doesn’t come as a huge surprise. When the Dispatch bought The Other Paper last year, it was pretty apparent that they did so in order to squash the Alive’s competition. In their press release, the Dispatch says it in a way that doesn’t make them look like the bad guys …
“In viewing the research of who reads the two publications, and after hearing from the local advertising community, it became more and more obvious that one publication would better serve our readers and advertisers,” said Michael Fiorile, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Dispatch Printing Co.
On the surface, this makes sense but as anybody who picks up the two papers every week will note, Alive never takes on any in-depth news stories - it’s a fluffy arts-and-entertainment paper where you can find out important information like which bar serves the coldest beer in Columbus.
R.I.P. The Other Paper. Your voice will be missed in Columbus.
We had protection in this bill. We passed an amendment that specifically said if you were an American citizen or here legally in the country, you would get a trial by jury. It’s been removed because they want the ability to hold American citizens without trial in our country. This is so fundamentally wrong and goes against everything we stand for as a country that it can’t go unnoticed. When you’re accused of a crime in our country you get a trial, you get a trial by a jury of your peers, no matter how heinous your crime is, no matter how awful you are, we give you a trial. This bill takes away that right and says that if someone thinks you’re dangerous, we will hold you without a trial. It’s an abomination.
