Filler admits he doesn't flossFiller holds forth about how newspapers used to be in the 90sFiller brings $50 in pennies home to the wife
Its news enough to make you want to gouge your eyes out......rend your hair and run head long into truck traffic....
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that those awards are completely worthless.
ReplyDeleteAnd we wonder why newspaper circulation falls like a rock...
ReplyDeleteWas Walzer on the awards panel?
ReplyDeleteFiller used to go to Walzer's house and cook for her.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of losers. Where did Casey Jones end up?
ReplyDeleteNever met Lane Filler, but I know the T-L lets things get in print now that wouldn't have made it pre-Connor. Today's business section has a story about the 25 year old Wyoming Valley Mall built in 1971.
ReplyDeleteIt's no typo because the reporter later writes "quarter century."

....and that means what......?
Filler is attractive...
ReplyDelete2007 - 1971 = 36
ReplyDelete2007 - 1971 DOES NOT = 25
(It's called subtraction.)
Never mind that the mall story was a hanndjob of the first order. Business stories are now assigned by the retail advertising manager.
ReplyDeleteThat stupid mall story was written by that Ron Bartizek. He's awful. But they're stuck with him. He's one of the great McHugh-Walzer hires.

ReplyDeleteI have been having my own little battle with Lane on one of his web post sites about his assertion that Americans owe no more allegiance to one another than to the rest of the world...of course, he's advocating for mass immigration under the auspices of humanitarianism.
