AP reports:

The Tahoe Daily Tribune will reduce its days of publication from five to three effective Feb. 2 due to increases in the cost of newsprint and the sour national economy, its publisher said in Friday’s edition.

The paper founded in 1958 and now owned by the Reno-based Swift Communications will be published on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays instead of the current schedule of Monday through Friday,’ publisher Mary Jurkonis said.

We love if you guys want to comment. Welcome it. Look forward to it.

If you would like to start a discussion – have some discourse over here on the ol’ Fishbowl – we’re all for it.

But we have a zero tolerance policy on personal attacks on your humble editors. Won’t put up with it. Don’t deserve it. Knock it off or we will delete them.

If you have something witty or interesting to put in the comments please do.

This is NSFW…if you still have a job that is.

This is from Jack Douglass. Thanks dude.

Pictured are Vincent De Paul, Tommy Alastra, Jennifer Westfeldt and John Hamm at this year’s SAG Awards.

De Paul is a busy guy and well, it’s really nice to talk to someone that’s super busy working…mainly because they keep us on the phone less than you unemployeds. Geesh.

Anyway, son of Baltimore morticians, De Paul is slated to be in two upcoming films. One called Baby Jane? directed by Billy Clift to film in San Fransisco. The other is a vampire movie titled Raven to be directed by Gregori J. Martin.

People ask De Paul about John Hamm’s success and De Paul told FBLA,”He’s the quintessential all American great guy. He should be on the cover of every magazine.”

You’ve got our vote.

NPR’s Day to Day is going…do you call it dark? Dead? Silent?…On March 20th. This video features Madeleine Brand and Alex Cohen talking about losing their jobs.

We’re going to go give what we earn for this post to KPCC while we’re thinking about it. Serious.

When we asked you what was the best thing about the Super Bowl yesterday, very few mentioned ‘football’ as one of them. Not to challenge anyone’s manhood or patriotism…we’re just saying…our readers are a little un-American, proudly apathetic and on a good day elliptical machine hogs.

There. We said it.

Oh and if you care (which we already know the answer to that) our sister blog AgencySpy will be live tweeting the event with the tag #sbads09.

This was on Craigslist. Yeah, we had to find it on Craigslist. We must not be on their mailing list. Hmf:
