    Canada perfected this little scheme back when the National Post was founded and trying to inflate its numbers.

    I went to UNLV right at the ending cusp of LV's glory days (More classic hotels on the Strip than douchebag attractors, Tarkanian was still coaching, slots still dropped coins etc) and even in 1993, with under a million residents, LV still was a two-newspaper town.

    In fact I still have my mint-condition copies of the LV Sun's farewell to the Dunes Hotel special issue .. though, little did the Sun know they were about to implode themselves :[] .. good times though.

    @lobstr: I forgot! Yes! You're a UNLV grad. For the record, the Sun's still alive, it's just a fold-out in the RJ, now. A 20something year-old reporter at the Sun won the Pulitzer earlier this year for Public Service reporting on construction project deaths. Must've chapped some old asses at the RJ fairly well.

    If the internet had been set up originally on a per-fee basis, maybe there wouldn't be resistance to the idea of internet-only news. "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" comes to mind.

    I was hoping for the death of print media if only to save the forests.

    @Lysergic Asset: Compuserve, payable by the minute. Something called The Source offered all sorts of university (East Mississippi Barbers', I think) research opportunity at $7 per minute. Other deep resources offered a cover charge to the Inner Sanctum. This was connectivity in the late 80s, when I started. Even the local "tree board," the BBS which organized chatter so it went on forever like an organization chart, began charging.

    Then somebody said, hey, everybody's still listening to radio and watching teevee. What's their business plan again?

    @BadUncle: Actually, the flow of Conservative time stopped roughly after Ronald Reagan, when he immediately ascended to heaven and then recrafted his life story. There was a brief respite for the G.W. Bush years, and now there is no time yet again.

    At this point, since Palin currently holds no public office and has proved to be incapable of doing so, I don't care what she does. She's been entertaining, yes, but until she actually has some power beyond public enchantment, it's no more important to pay attention to her than it is to follow the Gosselins.

    On Palin's detest of the "whacks": Didn't she claim she dressed up as Tina Fey (???why???) for Halloween one year when someone asked her what she thought of Fey's parodies of her?

    She just seems to manufacture the truth as she goes along.

    Related: What did she do to dress up? Wear her hair down and put a pencil behind her ear? #sarahpalin
