Can we have a "keep em" list? Inara V and Prince Valiant ONLY ON SUNDAYS (so the story is forever disjointed).
I'm pretty sure they only draw one Prince Valiant a week, so that's as coherent as the story is ever going to get (Two weeks ago: Gawain steps on what he thinks is an island. Last week: Oh wait, it's a giant crab. This week: the giant crab attacks!)
Margie Boule needs to be shot, though, and Tom Hallman Jr. deserves to have that Pulitzer forcibly removed from his home, and replaced with a Kurt Vonnegut Award for the Finest and Most Repetitive Use of the One Sentence Paragraph.
And S. Renee Mitchell is a moron. Sorry to say, since it would seem to make me predjudiced against both black people and women, although it is simply that I dislike morons, and has nothing to do with either gender or race.
But David Reinhard is the pure beating heart of ignorant-and-proud-of-it, so he deserves...
Wait a minute: why can't we vote on multiple writers, and when will we have a similar chance regarding The Merc?
Allison Hallett! Your time is up!
Seriously? Advertisers pay all your salaries based on a circ of less than 50K?
Remember the one about the mace, kitty?
Ian: "So: how long till Matt Davis gets it over with and writes a cover article that is explicitly, honestly, and not simply indirectly about himself; and then adds an edgy reader poll to decide whether he should be fired or retained at the Mercury?"
Matt: "Ian: I'm happy to run such a poll on the blog, Monday. And be bound by its outcome..."
Ian: "Matt-- if you're that insecure, please run the poll."
Matt: "I'm not going to run a "sack me" poll."

What a suprise (and god, what a classic initial post)... OK, I'm done with work, and off to get drunk. Carry on with the "I KNOW WHO YOU AREZ!!!", Matt. Classy, as per usual.
You're all probably too young to remember Stickel's fixation on telephone recordings of news articles. Way back in the late 80s, the Oregonian (and many other Advance papers around the country) devoted huge resources to creating audio recordings of most local news - columns, recipes, sports scores - and making them available via a phone call. Very unpopular, especially with the news staff who had to narrate their crappy stories as well as type them.
But I want to vote FOR the Oregonian building, especially the 4th and a 1/2 floor - which once was the location of KGW TV. Another silly idea from a bygone era.
And please get rid of Chelsea Cain. The "stay-at-home reporter."
richbachelor = genius! S Reene is atrocious, so is Blowhard errr Reinhard (I do appreciate his interest in pissing off the libtards tho)...and I agree, time to vote someone off the Merc island - Allison Hallett, POOF!
That, and daily paper writers have thick skins.
