The Plight of the Chesapeake Bay...
 

....another good article from the Washington Post. Now that Bush is on his
way out, the Post is trying to make up for it's lack of decent writing over
the past few years. I'd subscribe again, but seeing Obama's face on the
front page every day would get old.

Washington Post article: http://tinyurl.com/8vkdox

Anyone who lives close to the Bay has little reason to knock someone else's
home waters. The Bay is going downhill fast. Actually, many believe it's
close to the bottom now. When fishing out there on a calm day, the brown
'dead zone' can be seen easily in the middle of the bay.

A good article on the dissolved oxygen problem facing the Bay:

Obviously, the trees I had planted in the names of Harry and Jimh weren't
enough.

LOL, there were quite a few decently written articles in the Post
concerning Clean Water. Pick a few:

Bush Bashing was the forte of the Washington Post. That's why their
subscriptions have plummeted.

Well, it's difficult to right anything truthful about the most
incompetent President in recent history, without looking like you are
"bashing".

Seeing that you have been asleep the past decade, I'll inform you, it
isn't "Bush bashing" that is causing problems with most newspapers. It's
the internet.

It's always a bit of a grin, as it were, to read the political spins of
those right-wingers who have swallowed so much of the party pablum that
they have a ready but simple-minded and usually wrong rationalization
for everything in life, such as "If the Post hadn't bashed Bush so much,
the paper would be doing better financially."

Certainly the internet has hit the newspaper business hard, as have the
24-7 cable news channels and the increasing reluctance of much of the
population to, well, read. Reading a good newspaper requires a bit of
time and concentration, and it is much easier to absorb a few sound
bites from cable news.

Some of the really loony righties on the gun boards are overjoyed at the
slide of newspapers, because they believe they'll do better with the
general populace by confining "news" to blogs that are easier to control.

History will show that GWB was a much better President than his
predecessor and his father and many others in the preceeding 100 years.

Why are newspapers having problems with the Internet? Could it be that
the newspapers have been feeding their subscribers pages and pages of
biased crap for far too long?

any discussion.

We'll have to wait and see, but I seriously doubt it. Look at the world
situation in 2001, then, look at it now. Iran was a problem. It still
is. Israel/Palestine? No real change. North Korea, still the same.
Now Iraq? It's still unstable and dangerous. I will admit it has the
potential to be a stabilizing influence in an unstable area, but it also
still runs the chance of getting out of control. It's way too early for
any predictions.

The perception of America by the rest of the world? Sorry, Bush has had
a negative effect.

The economy? If Obama saves us from a depression, Bush won't go down as
a "Hoover". If Obama fails, Bush and Hoover are synonymous.

At best, Bush will be remembered by history as a mediocre President, more
likely, he will be remembered as one of the worst.

BS, newspapers, and media in general, are too large to pinhole. There
are quality, non-biased papers to be found in almost every market. The
reason newspapers are having a difficult time, very few people have the
time to sit down and read a newspaper, especially when you can get all
your "news" on a cell phone.

Oh, and the Internet isn't biased? Geeze, who knew?
