I paid a dollar for the Sunday edition

I received the following post on my Facebook page:

I think you are socially obligated to start up the Neely Chronicle again. Not as a print version of course because no one reads a paper anymore unless they are looking for Walmart discounts. It could just be a blog. I would do it myself, but I need an editor like you if my sarcasm falls short. I actually paid a dollar for the Sunday edition of the Reidsville Review hoping to catch up on a week of news. I turned the first page, six pounds of paper ads fell out and I was looking at the back page.

I reply:

I'd love to re-start the Chronicle, but I'm afraid another ass like Ron Price or Doug Hux would sue me for simply telling the truth.
