Please read box score attendance from all of the MLB last night. They're pretty much on average.

Also, the 49,000+ that the Rangers had for Opening Day, which sold out pretty quickly, is one of the largest crowds to come out for the first game.

Some people are just BBI.

I sent Mong an e-mail telling him exactly why I was cancelling after reading the paper since I knew how to read and having home delivery for over 10 years. He replied within the hour and said one of his senior customer relations people would be calling - nothing yet and it's been over a week.

I was on easy pay by the month. Basic customer service guy said I could get 25% off $28.50 and a $30 VISA gift card for renewing. No thanks, not enough to keep my business.

Just checked my bank statement, it was $180 for 13 months, but I only got a $10 card.

And what would be the conservative way? Layoff employees and cut benefits for those who remain? Oops, that didn't work!

So what's the next step for a conservative business? File for bankruptcy (and stiff the creditors) or beg your elected officials for a bailout?

"So what's the next step for a conservative business?"

Business either sinks or swims.
No bailouts for business or unions.
No TARP.
Failure should have consequences instead of nannyism.

See Ron Paul for more info.
