If the Inky’s Just Going to Publish Crap…
…why bother saving it?
Seriously: why should Philadelphians tolerate a newspaper that devotes its op-ed pages to the worst of the worst, granting a megaphone to charlatans and frauds like John Yoo and Rick Santorum…

The Philly Inquirer: Where the Last Eight Years Go to Die

Here’s a team that last won the Super Bowl… oh, right. They’ve NEVER won a Super Bowl.
