      <![CDATA[From Daniel Connolly: <br>
<br>
To Mad_Merc - I'm glad to learn that you'd be willing to pay more money for the paper. I think a lot of people feel that way, and it may be one way forward.<br>
<br>
To Jeff: Regarding the idea of building a wooden badger - that would certainly get some attention, though some unions prefer to use giant inflatable rats.<br>
<br>
 You can see examples here: <a href="http://archiblaster.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-ratted-unions-workers-inflatable.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://archiblaster.blogspot.com/2008/03/g&hellip;</a><br>
<br>
We don't have a giant inflatable rat  - we'd have to call up our rat supplier to get one.

However if you guys at the CA don't want to go that route, then just like Auto said, I'd happily pay for two subscriptions for a good daily.

      <![CDATA[Totally understand- it may be a false question and one that the CA does not necessarily face, but in light of the Star Ledger's near collapse, The Boston Globe teetering on the edge and the almost continuous warnings concerning the economic health of newspapers in the US- well I just don't want Memphis to be the first US city to be without a full service daily.
