#3 As the policy at the Times puts it: "Given the ease of Internet access to public records of campaign contributors, any political giving by a Times staff member would carry a great risk of feeding a false impression that the paper is taking sides."

Winston Churchill was at a high society party and approached a beautiful young socialite. He asked her, "Would you sleep with me for 500 pounds?" The young woman replied that she would certainly consider it. He then asked her if she would sleep with him for five shillings. She retorted, "What kind of woman do you think I am?"

As with the New York Times, the answer remains the same.

"We have already determined that, now we're merely haggling over the price."

Maybe I'll post an article tomorrow about how newspapers all across America are in extremely serious decline. This thread's link certainly illuminated just why.
