LOOKS LIKE A BUCH OF GANGSTERS TO ME. I CAN’T WAIT TO SUBMIT MY LIST FROM THE EVANSVILLE AREA.

Did you know that printing presses in 1791 were run completely by hand? Wouldn’t the Founders feel a bit differently about these fully automatic “Assault” presses that can churn out thousands of broadsheets per hour?

I’d personally call for common sense newspaper control to include limiting the number of newspaper vending boxes allowable on our streets and mandating a “reasonable” 50% post consumer waste content of their newsprint. {1}

Furthermore, perhaps there ought to be licensing, regulation and a hefty tax on every transaction involving buying ink by the barrel. This wouldn’t violate any civil rights because reasonable (an inkwell’s worth) quantity of ink would still be available without paperwork or a waiting period.

[1] both of these are culled from actual Pravda on the Potomac editorials, by the way

only one nit to pick. You should have cross referenced their appearance or lack of same on the CCW permittee database.

Perhaps they did me a favor. I am now safer in my home. The criminals who read the Herald Times, I presume only a criminal would read or a write for the Times, will recognize my address as having at least one permit carrying member in the household and stay away.

What even makes them “authorized?” The entrance requirements are extremely low, the licensing requirements are nil, and “press documents” easily obtained through The Journalist Workshop loophole…

I’d have to agree with tjb.. and add that they may be caching dictionaries or have a complete thesarus in their arsenal.

Instead of calling it aheadquarters why not say enclave or compound both of which scares me to death.
