Take it up a notch!! I used to love the way we bitch. It was witty, funny and to the point. Somehow it moved from the realm of ironic rant to a reality TV cat fight. It shouldn’t be about your personal problems — but problems we all share and do not have a venue to bitch in. The postings on the websites illustrate that there are some quality contributions from the readers. But from this week paper, it clear they are just not included in the print version! What up??

Sorry to disappoint, but jeesh, look at what I have to work with.
I try to get a varied collection into the paper. Entirely new bitches, things I’ve never read before, are favoured. I’m not inclined to print the bus or “that guy cut me off” bitching because, well, snore. Also, the shorter, the better; something that goes on for four paragraphs or whatever simply won’t make the paper.
You should just make some up Tim. It could be fun.
It’s the era. Years twist and turn with events and present new consensual attitudes that transcend the overall discussion of the murmuring masses, or, bitch boards. Take it as you will.
I have to admit though, the quality lately has really dropped off. Does this mean that things are better in the city? Or does it mean that there’s more idiots? I’m thinking that there’s more idiots.
Is there a way to save my preferences – to arrange from newest to oldest? Instead of switching it every time?
