Shots Across The Bow

Curses! Scooped Again by the Puppyblender!

Well, as most of the free world now knows, the Knoxville News Sentinel has become the second newspaper in America to carry Chris Muir's Day By Day comic, one that I've followed since I first became aware of it. While I'm sure that my friends on the left will disagree, to me it's every bit as funny as Doonesbury used to be before it lapsed into self-parody.

I haven't subscribed to the KNS for a couple of years now, and even though they are going to make it available online, and even though I have it on my site already, it's worth 50 cents a day to me to show my appreciation, both to Chris for writing the strip, and the KNS for carrying it.

So KNS finance department, chalk up at least one new subscriber to the paper.

And may I point out that I am doing this even though my good buddy at the KNS failed to alert me to this new development, despite the amount of time I've spent in his newsroom, making him and his colleagues look good. Sure, sure, my 3 or 4 regular readers don't mean much when compared to Glenn's bazillions, but a cc: on the email would have been nice.

But that's okay, really, it is. I'm a professional sort of amateur. I certainly won't allow this snub to color my coverage of the business section of the KNS.

That would be wrong.
