Muhammed:
I discovered the dailybreezedotcom online and find the local news interesting as the stories about the city councils and how they regulate the bars in the several cities is instructive as cities all over the country have similar problems that affect the quality of life for the nightspots neighbors.
I enjoy trying out the different pens that come out but dislike the spongy grip portions as the newsprint comes off my fingers and turns them grey when I am taking notes.
It is a shame what the "Grave Dancer" has done do the Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.
It's funny, the Tribune company owns part of "Topix" (the comment system the 'Breeze uses) but the LA Times uses another system that they censor and limit the comment length and doesn't allow links.
I thought that when the 'Breeze joined the Topix distribution system and became a national newspaper that the editor was starting to understand that the Internet is all about Links.
I find that when I place links on my comments the editor removes the posts.
I write on the Republican sites also:
