New York Times Sells Boston Globe at 93% Loss

Quote
After purchasing the Boston Globe in 1993 for a then-record $1.1 billion, the financially troubled New York Times just announced it sold the 141 year-old paper to Boston Red Sox owner John Henry for a mere $70 million. That's a straight 93% loss. Figuring in two decades of inflation would only make it worse -- as does the fact the Times retains the Globe's pension liabilities, estimated at over $100 million.

It should hurt to be a lib, financially and otherwise.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

"Should" is the operative word, but they'd never realize it nor admit it. They are sub-human creatures.
