There is an interesting posting on the Rake's website today.

Hmm. Perhaps Par Ridder will be tapping out some columns himself -- assuming he has found a replacement laptop.
In all seriousness, I hope that the Strib does not fall victim to the major bloodletting everyone has anticipated since the new owners took over. Unfortunately, in this case I fear that the conventional wisdom may be right ...
