Speaking of Holding Onto Your Hat, Star-Telegram
Shares of the company that owns (among other papers) the Star-T dropped 12 percent in trading this morning as the company’s stock was downgraded (for the third time in recent weeks) to “sell.” Next up (or down), the even less-appealing status of “sell right the eff now.”
Some of the folks on that express train to red ink have already de-boarded, though. Thus, the picture sent in by some of the remaining Star-T passengers. Godspeed, ya’ll.

Uh, pubic none the wiser? Sounds like it’s going to be fun reading these publications in the future with no one on board who can proof.
Pookie pants, that was a joke.
All your intelligence belong to me

Sorry about that post. My version of Adobe Copy Editor Pro 2008 stopped working.
Excellent use of the semicolon: http://www.dallasnews.com/shar.....629a7.html
Yes, I know it was a joke, and I was making a joke as well, though in retrospect, not a funny one, as it was probably harmful and disrespectful at that to compare copy editors from the Star-T with those from BeLow.
What’s the joke? I don’t get it.
Rule number one about a joke; never explain it.
explain what?
Who said the semicolon is extinct?
Semicolon is pretty common after 50 or 60, from what I hear.
Funny Trey. Very. Funny.
Pubic + cake = do not eat
Hey that’s the way they do things in Fort Worthless.
obviously bought the cheaper model cake without spell check. . .
Copy chiefs that edit good are worth there wait in goaled.
You our so write.
You know the difference in God and a copy editor?
God doesn’t think He’s a copy editor.
And you heard about the reporter and the copy editor who were lost in the desert?
They walked forever and finally saw an oasis. The reporter raced up and started drinking. Then he saw the copy editor urinating into the water.
The reporter said, “What are you doing?!”
The copy editor said, “I’m making it better!”
You spelled y’all as “ya’ll.” Did you do that on purpose?
That is the whole point of the print media dying. Some how we “the public” have to be preached my “COPY EDITORS” what is wise in news. Shove-it! I read what I want, douche-bags. I hate their arrogance!
