MMMM #76 - Killing the Golden Goose?

     The Washington Times, owned by Rev Sun Young Moon and his church, are taking a step that as far as I know is a first, even in this era of newspaper meltdowns. They are eliminating their Sunday edition.
     Is it just me, or isn't the Sunday edition of most-read edition of most papers?
     Prior to that they eliminated the sports department. Again, isn't that eating the seed corn?
     Of course crazy stuff at the WT isn't new. Rev. Moon has predicted the wholesale elimination of classes of people:

"There will be a purge on God’s orders, and evil will be eliminated like shadows," said Moon. (The comments were posted online by Rev. Moon’s webmaster and picked up by blogger John Gorenfeld.)

"Gays will be eliminated, the 3 Israels will unite. If not then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will bring but this is what happens. It will be greater than the communist purge but at God’s orders."*

     I hate to see newspapers go under, but when you eliminate your sports department and your Sunday edition, can pulling the plug be far behind?
     And where will people get their news if the Times goes under????
     Ironically, perhaps, The Washington Times was one of the papers to report the recent demise of another newspaper in the U.S. Capitol...a gay paper called The Washington Blade. And since there's going to be a purge, who needs it?
