"Today's" paper gets the score wrong, and a funny look at the Times
Another indication of the demise of print comes from today's print edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The paper, in a headline, gets last night's Brewers score wrong. The Brewers, of course, won 4-3, not 3-2. JSOnline, for the record, got it correct.

Journal Sentinel polybags are NOT eco friendly
I CAN'T BELIEVE the new polybags are being spun as eco friendly. Not only is this polybag used to contain wasteful and annoying junk mail (does anyone read or use the coupons in Weekend Plus?) but now it's creating even MORE garbage, LITTER and waste- JUST what Milwaukee needs, more litter!!!!!!!...
