John ‘Rambo’ Kerry’s New Bailout: Newspapers
It seems dumbocrat John Rambo Kerry wants to extend a bailout to unprofitable newspapers:
“To the Boston Globe family,” the Massachusetts Democrat wrote to employees of the 132-year-old publication, which faces closure unless it can come up with $20 million in union concessions to parent company the New York Times by May 1. The Globe is losing $1 million a week.
“America’s newspapers are struggling to survive, and while there will be serious consequences in terms of the lives and financial security of the employees involved, including hundreds at the Globe, there will also be serious consequences for our democracy where diversity of opinion and strong debate are paramount,” Mr. Kerry said.
Based on Rambo’s letter, I have two solutions for the Boston Globe that won’t cost the taxpayers a cent:
- Jettison the “Union”. If your survival depends on obtaining $20 million in concessions from a labor union, you are doomed for failure.
- Actually provide a “diversity of opinion” in your newspaper. Perhaps this novel concept would increase your circulation and you would not operate at a loss of $1 million per week.

McCain to be Challenged by Minuteman Founder Chris Simcox
Chris Simcox, the founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, indicated he will challenge Senator John McCain for his Senate seat in 2010. From Simcox’s forthcoming press release:
“John McCain has failed miserably in his duty to secure this nation’s borders and protect the people of Arizona from the escalating violence and lawlessness,” Simcox said. “He has fought real efforts over the years at every turn, opting to hold our nation’s border security hostage to his amnesty schemes. Coupled with his votes for reckless bailout spending and big government solutions to our nation’s problems, John McCain is out of touch with everyday Arizonans. Enough is enough.”
Senator McCain, who co-authored the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Bill, proposed allowing up to 11 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. to gain citizenship without ever returning to their home country first. Supporting amnesty for those who do not respect our immigration laws may topple the former Presidential candidate.
