Right now you're a goddamn chump, but by next week you could be the "Big Bazoo." PROCEED!

First Todd will come for the name, and then what? Beware these Hollywood types.

Bad enough Overton and Lovejoy were so fucking Lazy in 1831 they had to copy the name of a second rate podunkery in Maine for their stump patch- i mean "town".

Now we have carpetbagger Mecklem re-badging the Mercury to honor his Missouri backwoods ancestors? (I'm guessing on this last part).

Sure change your name to the Bazoo, but I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!

Please don't associate this fine periodical with a history of “execution excursions.” That makes me ill. Portland Mercury, your smarmyness actually has occasional pretty darn good commentary that should not be sullied with some mid-west hack. no sir. We all call it "The Mercury" anyway. Only newbies say the full name.
