Jim Henley: “Radley’s news reminds me that the other day I figured out that a less embarrassing business model for the newspaper business would be: puppies! You still can’t use the internet to housebreak a dog.”

True story: Saturday morning, my wife bought several copies of the Washington Post to use as a weed blocker in the front garden we were mulching. It’s cheaper and more effective than landscape fabric.

Not a bad idea, but I probably wouldn't use newspaper if you were growing food in that garden.

Don't forget: They're a critical part of a clambake or crawdad boil, too!
It's only logical, many people already think that it is The "Washington Com-Post"
