1. Already done
Also started grocery store blogging.

Hit four stores today with my blogs..

Simple headlines in bold print
small couple of sentences below
Stuck on bulletin boards.

Got it on four early today, check back and they were still there later in the day.. Think I will get me a weekly route going.

8. Thanks
I put out some today.

I think I will just carry some in my car along with something to stuck em up with and make sure everytime I go out, I stick some up.

Now, I also plan to update the market blog each week.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Love the name too - The Market Blogger. Way to go. We'll have to put together some headlines to follow your lead.

2. I never had one, but I did do a survey for the Statesman (quality control)
I basically told them that I don't buy their newspaper because, for a capital city paper, they are exceedingly limp-wristed when it comes to dealing with politics. I told the woman on the phone I'd stick with the Chronicle over their fishwrap anyday, and the Chron only comes out once a week! I think she got the message.;)

7. Cancelled it a while ago
When I just couldn't take take anymore of their cheerleading for Bunnypants' War on Terra.

If I hadn't cancelled it then, I surely would have when they endorsed that scumbag back in October.

9. I cancelled mine the day after the Idiot Boy endorsement.
They're still delivering it but I refuse to read it. I'll have to call again and insist that they stop. I was a subscriber for about 30 years!

10. Me too Longhorn
After our protest on the bridge that Sunday they endorsed the Nazi. And the funny thing is I don't miss them at all. That's $144 dollars a year I can spend on better publications like The Nation, The Texas Observer, Hightower Report and make a contribution to the local party. I feel so much better.
