The Pioneer Press is suffering through declining circulation numbers and now staff cuts and a reorganization. I've speculated here and on NARN that the only way they can save themselves is to steer their editorial direction to the right. It seems obvious that they can't survive trying to mimic the ideological slant of their dominant opponent from Minneapolis. They need to oppose it and offer an alternative to the 40% of Minnesotans predisposed to a more conservative perspective.
Or they need to start working blue. Laura Billings takes this option with her column today on thongs:
According to the half-dozen mothers who've told me about this trend, it doesn't matter if your undies are maternity-size, bikini cut or purchased at La Perla. If they don't go up your biscuit, they're for babies.
Yowza! Does that mean what I think it means? If so, that may be the most profane thing ever printed in the Pioneer Press (at least since Nick Coleman left). Didn't this used to be a family newspaper? What would Don Boxmeyer think?
