    My guess is that some guy named Will keeps beating the cr_p out of batboy. Not sure what else could explain his hatred.

    "Not sure what else could explain his hatred." His moral superiority, and lack of respect for opposing views and politcal parties would be my guess.

    Maybe they will get rid of the odious John Yoo, in which case I might consider subscribing again.

    A hundred million for the enterprise? The new owners still overpaid...by a lot.

    Actually it was $135 million, considerably more than expected. For the most part it seems like better news for the newspapers than I expected, no matter who won the bidding. Of course, we will have to wait and see, but this may turn out to be a positive development after all--although it is not clear that unions will be able to salvage salaries and benefits.
