In the interview, the discussion started heading towards the idea of a potential government bailout or other options for the newspapers. President Obama said he hadn’t seen any detailed proposals, but would be open to options to help the struggling papers.

We’re advancing technology right? Why do we need to support an industry that doesn’t need to be saved? I believe the reason they’re failing is because the newspapers haven’t adjusted to the changing of media and the economic impacts of those changes.

Barack says he’s concerned that if there were no newspapers or other official media outlets, and all the news was left up to the blogosphere we’d be at a loss. I find that a bit interesting since the blogosphere is what he used so effectively in his campaign.

Why can’t the newspapers exist purely online and in a digital format? Why can’t the same people that have been writing for print media, just write for the web? Advertising they sold for the print edition can now be sold in their digital format and they can get an even wider subscriber base. For example, I’d love to be able to subscribe to my little hometown paper from the tiny city I grew up in. It’s not worth them printing and mailing me a copy of the paper, but to give me access to it electronically or all the stories on their website. That’s a great deal!

Bailing out the newspapers to keep printing birdcage carpet isn’t a great idea!

We might as well go ahead and bailout candle makers, blacksmiths and typewriter companies?

Top Weight Lifting Websites

Yes, one of my favorite comic book writers and the creator of Sam and Max just got a little bit weirder. According to this post over at The International House of Mojo, Steve Purcell has finally created his very own blog in which he writes random nonsense under the pen name Starchie Spudnoggen.

Starchie Spudnoggen?! Who the hell comes up with a name like that? I can tell you who. Steve Purcell.

In this new litte ditty of a blog which comes directly from Starchie Spudnoggen’s noggin, you’ll see some random ranting and raving and some new paintings Starchie has done himself! And with a name like Starchie Spudnoggen, you’re probably wondering how a potato can paint and stuff.

I’m not sure myself, but if you want a bit of a laugh, wander on over to the blog and show your friends. They will think you’re crazy, too.
