  • U.S. PIRG does not support ending subsidies?

    Phineas from Boston writes that the U.S. PIRG does not support ending subsidies, just some subsidies. PIRG spokesperson Moses Corvus responds to the allegations.

    The fact that U.S. PIRG and Ryan both oppose agricultural subsidies does not mean that U.S. PIRG supported Ryan ending agricultural subsidies. A basic Google search immediately reveals several press statements from U.S. PIRG opposing the Ryan Plan. Please correct this erroneous reporting.

  • Make the Reader narrower and less PC!

    Lance from Shanghai suggests that the Reader needs a narrower viewpoint and more politically-incorrect content. We respectfully disagree.

    Your web page is too wide. Can’t you make it a bit narrower or make it fill say 90% of the window instead of some fixed figure such as 913 pixels? Non-PC users don’t generally like their web browser window to hog the entire display screen area.

  • Walkerville Weekly Reader wins journalism accolades

    The Reader’s article on Springsteen’s arrest wins award for telling essential truths: The Most Gratuitious Use of the Word Nigger in a Serious Newspaper, presented by Ken Boris of the Main Stream News Association.

    In reaction to your comment on a fellow reader’s comment, isn’t using the word “Nigger” in your article about Bruce Springsteen being arrested; hateful speech. You are guilty, lying, ignorant cheats.
