The publisher of The Paris News makes it a point to let us know that he finds it difficult to write 52 editorial columns each year. That's pretty obvious. His column in the January 1 edition rehashed the columns he had written from January through June of 2008. He promises that his next column will be the same for the columns written from July through December. I may be mistaken, but I believe somewhere about the middle of last year, he also had a column telling us about the previous columns he had written. At the end of 2009, will he tell us that he wrote columns in January telling us what he wrote in 2008? You know the effect you get when you see a mirror reflected in a mirror? You see the scene repeated into infinity. Reminds me of his columns. When you have to resort to writing columns about your columns, maybe you should just quit writing. With these columns, once is more than enough!
Paris News funny for the day: December 31, 2008, front page headline -- "Official offices close for the holiday." Is that opposed to unofficial offices closing for the holiday?
"2008 columns touched on a variety of topics." The Paris News; January 1, 2009; p. 4.

I love your Paris News funnies... I think you should save them throughout the year, print them out and present them to the editor. Perhaps it will encourage him to do better next year! Of course, if he does, it will cut down on our entertainment!
