#1 Good question. It's great for lining parrot cages and wrapping carp. That should give it some value.

#2 Does anyone really believe that Times Co.'s other assetsThe New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, and its New York City radio stationcould be worth only $750 million?

When the owners and management has been riddled with incompetence for years and the newspaper has only been a cheer leading section for the liberal dhimocrat party instead of a news organization...

Yes.

Yes. Next question. Are they worth anything at all?

#5 ...despite all the respect the brand commands.

ROTFL. Like sub-prime mortgage paper. Why should anyone pay to be the front for the Democratic Party? Let the Party pay for their own in house organ on their own dime and own time. There's nothing historically wrong with a Party putting out its own paper. Just be up front about it, instead of hiding behind the very poor Potemkin facade.

#6 Do I smell a bargain in the air? The outlook for any large newspaper is bleak. With the highest profile in the US, it's going to take more of a hit than some. But is it trash or treasure? What am I bid?

#7 Let's see, a syndicate of ten million conservatives, $200 subscription....

The look on Krugman and Rich's faces when we lay them off, priceless!
