Take Wal-Mart, the most famously offensive, town-destroying, junk-purveying, labor-abusing, sweatshop-supporting, American-job-killing, soul-numbing, hope-curdling retailer in the known universe, moving upward of $300 billion in cheap mass-produced slurm every year via more than 5,000 landscape-mauling eyesore stores stretching all the way from Texas to China and Argentina and South Korea and Mexico and your backyard.

Thank you so much Mr. Blogger for the witty and funny "newspaper clippings." I think they're a riot. Maybe we could collect them and turn them into a letter to the editor! They certainly bring to light the absurdity of some of the statements being made out there!
This is a riot....thanks for the humor!! I love the picture.
Nicely done.
Why can't Mr. Daunais (today's letter to the editor) find tires, groceries and a restaurant to each lunch at in the Tri-Lakes? I bought tires in Lake Placid and purchase groceries in Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Last time I checked there is no shortage of places to eat lunch in the Tri-Lakes. Maybe he enjoys driving to Plattsburgh at >$3.09 a gallon.
I guess those who want a Wal-Mart will use any excuse to go to Plattsburgh. NOTHING will satisfy them, except a 121,000 square foot Wal-Mart on Lake Flower. And I suspect even with that, they still wouldn't be satisfied. I'm so tired of the arguement that S.L. is a ghost town. Want a Wal-Mart? Then we'll REALLY BE A GHOST TOWN!
