    It was inevitable that Online Publishing was gonna be. I am shocked that ALL newspapers have not "gone over to the other side"
    Being a newspaper employee for 34 years I saw the online rags going over way back when!
    The same will be forthcoming for WSJ. They are no better than anyone else, huh? Communications wins!

    But on a lighter tone, the article above is a delightful change from the "paperless" world we are suppose to live in. I hope to see many papers in the future changing seeing as we went "paperless" quite a while ago. Yet we almost all major businesses have'nt really seen a decrease in paper at all... On one last unrelated note anyone reading this besure to use your rights and get out voting tomarrow.

    As to whom it may concern, to question the measures by which the modern lower middle class man may make his living or live accordingly is his own business. If you wanted to create a dramatic comment about the article at hand that would be one thing. ObamaYesWeCan, is more of a tabloid comment artist than a intellegent debator. Much in the way a bad lawyer uses facts without reason or vise-versa. You spit about a modern hard working citizen and are quick to point out his faults... But what of your own? Many of Wurzelbacher's faults are obiviously mere civil disobedience, much like the protesting of a certain unpopular war called Vietnam. Are you so quick to judge? To quote someone more famous than myself I'll put it like this, "let ye without sin cast the first stone."

    This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

    http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

    Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

    ...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

    Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

    After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.


    Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.

    Kudos to the Christian Science Monitor for their boldness in being the first daily newspaper to take that green leap. By dropping their daily print edition. the CSM is killing fewer trees and reducing the toxic effluent of paper production, effluent that has been dumped directly into waterways around the world.

    CSM is anything but the "religious right". Many conservatives actually label it as liberal. Reading it for over 20 years has really opened my eyes to the world as a whole. It has made me appreciate what we take for granted in the US, while demonstrating daily that we have a lot to learn from other cultures.

    It has such a small number of sucscribers that it wont hurt them to go paperless. The religous right is done in this country!
