Wisconsin State Journal's: Series of Unfortunate Events

First this happened:

 Walker is the best choice for getting Wisconsin back on track financially and competing for more good-paying jobs.

Secondly,  this happened:


Wisconsin State Journal Endorses Tommy!

But this election is about the need for jobs, cooperation and fiscal sanity. Thompson wins on those priorities.

Then this happened:

 The State Journal editorial board endorses Mitt Romney in Tuesday's presidential election.

Romney showed as the Republican governor of Democratic-leaning Massachusetts that he can find agreement across the partisan divide. And his vice presidential pick — Wisconsin's U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville — suggests Romney is serious about tackling America's fiscal mess.

Romney has an impressive record of success in the private and public sectors. He's a numbers guy who focuses more on results than ideology. That's why so many of his fellow Republicans during the GOP primary criticized him for not being conservative enough.

Romney has been a strong leader in business and civic life. This includes turning around many troubled companies and the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Romney better understands how and why entrepreneurs and employers decide to expand and add jobs. He's more likely to get the private-sector going strong again. . .

But Obama is the president. The buck stops with him. This is now Obama's economy, even though the GOP shares in the blame for partisan games
 Then this happened:

 Lee Enterprises Inc., based in Davenport, Iowa, reported Monday that it lost $7.7 million, or 15 cents per share, in its fiscal fourth quarter, compared with a net loss of $8.8 million, or 20 cents per share, a year ago.

  2. Wis State Urinal....I wouldn't wrap my garbage with that corporate rag,let alone a wonderful natural resource like a fish....WSJ should think about hiring Kent Wainscot from WISN tv 12 so they would corner the market on totally biased news and cheerleaders for the GOP ( Goofy Old People)....Their slogan should be "We get it wrong almost all of the time"

  3. I noticed that Lee recently sold one of it's newspapers in California for all of $12M. It kind of makes you wonder what the State Urinal is actually worth. I canceled my subscription two years ago and haven't missed it one bit.

    1. I work for a regional bookstore chain, and some of our stores carry the WSJ. The last year or so, they've been positively rabid about getting bills paid, even before they're due -- they'll call and ask about invoices due in the next week or two, wanting to make absolutely sure the check will be in on time (which it always is; it isn't like we have a habit of trying to duck out of paying). And these are small payments, averaging perhaps $30-$40. My guess is that they're having money troubles, and it couldn't happen to a nicer paper.
