It's very disheartening what's happening with newspapers. Rocky Mountain News, Seattle PI, now the Boston Globe is rumored to be one of the next to go--which will leave Boston with no regional paper (Herald doesn't count for anything other than to papertrain dog with). But I guess we'll all just have to get our news from the guys blogging out of their parents basements.

I don't know if it counts if you're blogging out of your own basement...
