Woohooo!!!!!!! We've been informed at our paper that our pay cuts are getting undone! Plus, raises will resume where they left off! We were told that it has to do with the company's improved financial strength (the $42 million we made last quarter, I'm guessing). One of our higher-ups told me the pay cuts will be undone at most papers, but not all. Glad I stuck with it through the tough times!!!
Obama Surprised by Controversy Over Remark About Arrest of Black Scholar (Fox news)
President Obama said Thursday he was surprised by all the hubbub over his comments that a white police officer had acted "stupidly" in arresting a prominent black scholar for disorderly conduct.
The president didn't take back his words, but he allowed that he understood the sergeant who made the arrest is an "outstanding police officer."
"I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement," Obama said in an interview with ABC News,"
This man is as dumb as a box of rocks. Furthermore it is being alleged that the question was planted, and his answer was not off-the-cuff.
He responded exactly as planned and rehearsed: the police acted stupidly. How can we have this racist marxist power-hungry arrogant jackass as president?
Barack Obama discovers socialist projects at home and pro-Marxist policy are making him unpopular (TelegraphUK)
Are the people rejecting their saviour? Barack Obama’s approval rating has slipped to below that of George “Dubya” Bush at the same stage in his presidency and this is causing some concern among right-thinking (by which, of course, I mean left-thinking) people. This is by no means the death of the dream that began in January – approval ratings slide up and down erratically – but it is at least an early intimation of mortality.
For this is no ordinary presidency, this is the reign on earth of The One: his approval rating was intended to break the mould by rising inexorably to 100 per cent and beyond. The problem about a mega-hype like the Obama scam is that when it goes pear-shaped it will crash and burn like nothing we have seen since that other hot-air powered marvel, the Hindenburg. Here we are, six months into the great adventure and already our hero is in deep doo-doo.
'Scofflaw' 0bama Grudge Against Cambridge Police? (NewsMax)
One reason Barack Obama may think the Cambridge Police Department is "stupid" is that he has a grudge against the law enforcement agency. Obama, who attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991, lived in Cambridge, and apparently didn't like the fact he was frequently hit with parking tickets. In all Obama received 17 tickets for parking violations -- and never paid 15 of them until he was exposed by a local Massachusetts newspaper as a scofflaw.
Here’s the dirty secret behind Washington’s health-care “fight”: Democrats won everything in last year’s election.
You wouldn’t know it from the way President Barack Obama is blaming the GOP for his flagging health agenda. “There are those [read the GOP] who are advocating delay just as a desperation move to try to kill it,” complained White House budget director Peter Orszag. Republicans are working to “block health-care reform,” groused the president. “Republicans should immediately put an end to their political games,” demanded Democratic Rep. Chris van Hollen.
Indeed. The party of the left owns the White House, a filibuster-proof Senate, and a 70-seat House majority. As one House Republican aide quipped: “We could have every GOP congressman and their parents vote against a Democratic bill, and still not stop it.” All Democrats have to do is agree on something.
Stop pretending to know what you are talking about and discounting everything I have said. So far everything I have ever posted on here has come true and everything I have ever posted you have refuted it...just to watch it be true.
I have presented nothing but facts to you pea brained idiots.
All you can ever do is name call, bash, and refute my claims with nothing to show the contrary.
I cannot control what this company does. I cannot control what the market does.
I have not predicted the stock price in the future, and I have not pimped/promoted it.
I have only provided ACCURATE and FACTUAL information about the health of McClatchy...and NO ONE, not ONE SINGLE PERSON, can refute with actual evidence that I have been wrong, or misleading anyone.
Why does every single post here, except this one, have an anonymous tag to it? How in thhe hell does anyone know who is who and what is what. Maybe there are only two people going to this site, me and anonymous. Jay

Bullshit. You wait until someone else mentions something or wait until right after the fact and declare yourself the prophet.
Nobody cares about your shameless self promotion, and no one believes that you are some sort of stock guru. You're a small time teeny bopper that thinks you know everything and you're irritating as hell.
Now, save your crap for someplace that you can impress someone. This isn't it.
Bullshit. You wait until someone else mentions something or wait until right after the fact and declare yourself the prophet.

If MW would turn on IP addresses you would see which posts are mine and which are others.
The reason I post anonymous is that I work for McClatchy and do not want to take a chance on losing my job.
EVERYTHING I have posted this week has been 100% original, and has not come after someone else said it.
I posted before the market opened on Tuesday (check on here) that it would go up 40-50% when MW asked for predictions. I am the only one predicting success in Q3+, and I was the only one this morning mentioning that it looked like there might be some profit taking today (and it looks like the price is down).
I guess the only way for you guys to stop the idiotic posts would be for people to Spam and flame this blog so that it forces MW to require login. (of course that doesn't really help because anyone can create a new account anytime they want to play both sides of the topic).
Obama didn't pay his parking tickets! Why would that not surprise anyone? Only certain people have to pay taxes, and parking tickets in our brave new world. Was there interest owed on those overdue tickets? What a scammer we have as president now. === "Obama received 17 tickets for parking violations -- and never paid 15 of them until he was exposed"
Congratulations to you all on the elevated level of discourse today. Our homophobe (who obviously doubts his own manhood, signalled by calling every poster he disagrees with "Sweetie") hasn't shown up yet, and the braying jackass Bwahahaha must still be asleep also. We can only hope that neither shows up to plunge the discourse into the toilet again.
GatesGate: Programming Obama, and using TOTUS for his brain was not all that difficult, and it works until he has to speak on his own. He obviously hates policemen, and white policemen in particular. The Bam took a page right out of Rev. Wright’s good book. When you think about it, how has Jesse J. and his ilk made money all these years? With their police brutality stories! If Obooma is not straight out of the ‘Wizard of Oz’, with Soros pulling the strings, who is?
Fifty-three percent of those questioned in the poll view Palin negatively, with four in 10 holding a positive view of her. The survey is the second this week, following a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll released Thursday, to find more than half of all Americans viewing Palin in an unfavorable light.
HA! If that bimbo is the best that the repukelicans can come up with then Obama will coast to another term.
When you think about it, how has Jesse J. and his ilk made money all these years?
Two ways. 1) They scam donations off those who they pretend to support
2)Extortion - They set up their phony non profits and rent an office in prominent business districts. They then visit the local businesses and tell them that they are moving in and soliciting a donation for their phony front group. If the business doesn't pony up, they then declare them racist and flood the press with phony accusations of racism, stage protests, or create disturbances.
The press swallows it because it makes for a good lead and they don't want to be the next target. It has probably been a large contributor to the decline in the presses credibility over the past few years now that business are actually calling Jesse et al's bluff more often.
Childish trolls have come onto this blog to ruin it, just like they did the Gannett Blog. It is called a tandem tag team of ruin. One little twit writes garbage, and another one answers with garbage. They attack the regular posters and continue their gibberish until no one wants to read anything posted. 7:41 used the “f” word, and 7:51 is a troll who thinks he knows who should post here. These are children at play, or perhaps just one, but there is little of merit to read today in this thread.
Simple question to you. If the 2 posts you are calling out are to labeled "childish" or a "twit" due to the content of their posts, what term do would you use to describe the "regular" that do nothing all day but whine and complain about McClatchy.
"Jaded"? "Jealous"? "Unfulfulled"?
I'm just curious because it appears to me that you are only calling out those that don't subscribe to the "kill McClatchy" school of thought.
“PUT UP OR SHUT UP!” Schoolyard talk among adults? This is what happens when trolls are allowed to ruin a thread. Unfortunately, this is how they start, and if they are allowed to run free, schoolyard bullies is all you will have left. This childish quarrelling is sad to witness today, and these little contrived flame wars are boring, IMO.
///and 7:51 is a troll who thinks he knows who should post here. These are children at play, or perhaps just one, but there is little of merit to read today in this thread.///
8:20, aren't you saying you think you know who should post here? Does that make you a child at play?
Obama needs to make a clear and unequivocal apology to the Cambridge Policeman. He shot his mouth off when he should not have. He disparaged faithful, rightful policing and should apologize without equivocation. Sooner would be better than later.
Gays and Lesbians Smoke More According to a study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, homosexuals smoke more than the general population.
Though the exact reason for the difference is not clear, but I'd suggest it has to do with friction.
1:57 and 2:02: What does any of this have to do with McClatchy?
For the slow.

And your paper would be...?
4:50, I better not say. Supposed to take effect Aug. 1.
Perhaps 4:47's reading too much into the propaganda his employer churns out.
4:47 And socialized medicine won't cost Americans a penny, and I saw a unicorn yesterday too.
4:47 didn't name the paper, since that would give somebody an opening to check the wild claim out.
4:47's post and his follow ups should be deleted.
He not only cannot support his claim, he refuses to do so.
He should not be allowed to give false hope to other employees or foster resentment with a clearly dishonest rumor.

Well, you've tried that before. It didn't work out too good for you as I recall.
I am not crying. What I want is for people to present factual information and if you disagree with it provide the facts to back it up.
I am tired of the right wing conservative nutjobs bashing for the sake of bashing.
I am all for disagreement...just come back with something more than name calling (what the left wing liberal idiots do).
Apparently you guys are no different when you get out on the ends.
And fuck the stock...if I wanted to promote/pimp it I wouldn't be doing it on the crappy blog to a bunch of people that thing the company is dying.
