If anything could rouse me from this summer languor it would have to be the rumours that The World’s Most Reliable Newspaper may cease publication. Other than Archie comics, I can think of no other publication that it would pain me more to watch disappear. Such is my love for WWN that I even considered making discussion of that fine newspaper a weekly feature of this blog, which unfortunately fell through due to lack of funds. Only weeks ago I told J. that I could finally afford a subscription to the World Weekly News, which she pronounced as “The greatest waste of money I’ve ever heard of,” a statement I’m sure she now regrets deeply.

If the rumours turn out to be true, there will be a hole in my heart the size of the one in the supermarket check-out line.

Thanks to Mike Sterling for bringing this to my attention.
