daveo0331's Journal: Sad news, Mercury News found dead in its San Jose home

My local newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, has decided to go the way of the New York Times and require readers to sell their so^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hregister with the site in order to read stories. I guess this is a common thing now, but I like being able to read the news without having to tell them I live in Tanzania, have five kids, am 19 years old, have a Ph.D in economics, and have an annual income between $10,000 and $14,999.

No time to worry about that now though -- I heard they're giving a car away down at the mall, and all you have to do to enter is fill out an entry form and slip it through the drivers side window.
