5. Some of the writing is absolutely brilliant... |
|
...God's press conference at Ground Zero (posted shortly after 9/11) was one of the most poignant and powerful things to be found on a "comedy" site.

6. You'll love having it in print. |
|
The online edition is just a republishing of the print edition, and in my opinion it's not structured for easy browsing.

They make their money off the ads and they are evidently looking to hire 10 people right now to work in the warehouse district, Mpls, to sell those ads. It's supposed to be out Sept 9 and they were originally going to go next to San Fran but decided that the Twin Cities made more sense, as they are now in Chicago. It's really great to have the actual paper in hand to read, as opposed to the web site, which is still quite funny.
