Our local newspaper, The San Antonio Express News, does a lousy job of covering the Iraq War. For those of you who read it as your primary source of news, you may have missed an article buried on 9A. It was headline news for the New York Times, Baghdad Blast Leaves 51 Dead, and the […]

For those of you who don’t get the newspaper, the Express-News made some changes in its comics.
MySA.com: Commentary
The changes reflect results of recent E-N reader polls, which tells me if you have favorite comic strips, don’t hesitate to tout them in future polling.

REACT: Goodbye Nacho! Express-News Axes Conservative Cartoonist, Keeps Liberal | WOAI.COM: San Antonio News
According to an executive with the Express News, twenty positions were cut: eight through attrition, and the other dozen as layoffs.

Clarification: On Wednesday, I reported that the city sued Stribling in 2003 for allowing a historic structure on his property to erode. I also reported that Stribling made the requested repairs. Implied — but not clearly stated — was that the city did not pursue the suit after Stribling began making repairs. The […]
