Shall any of our print news publications survive when even the comments page at The Economist is wittier than, say, that Seal Confirms Klum's Pregnancy at New York Concert, which the NYT's felt necessary to notify its readers of, and noting, since evidently the baby's getting older, that this news was born only "9 minutes ago."
But, thankfully, here're the comments on the Bolivia article:

Good news for Bolivia! Both government and opposition have to understand that they have to learn to live with each other. Both parties are crucial to sustain democracy in the country.

Indeed. Imagine what would have been of the world without western colonialism.
No slavery, no piracy, no genocide.
Just the thought of it gives me the creeps.

Pretty soon, all of Bolivia will be on an involuntary hiunger strike as the country defaults on its sovereign debts and its economy collapses. Only Britain can provide the solution: Colonization and Anglo-Re-education of the masses as well as orthodox economic measures, a devaluatino of the Boliviano, and the destruction of all plantlife in the country, if those stubborn people persist in growing drugs for export to the US and Britain.

Last little bit of millions of pieces
From the latest The Economist report on St. Louis, Missouri:
"Almost by accident, environmentalists discovered that an untouched 25-acre plot in the cemetery was one of the last bits of the prairie that, till the early 19th century, covered most of the site of present-day St Louis."
The cemetery has both the remains of Dred Scott (yes, that one) and, for some Nimiipuu people,
"An important new monument was dedicated in 2003 to the memory of four Nez Perce warriors, two of whom died in St. Louis while visiting William Clark after his expedition through the Louisiana Territory. The warriors had been baptized during their stay in St. Louis, which was intended to gather information and contacts that would empower their people in a land now under the control of European culture."
Oh yeah, that paedocidal maniac, W.T. Sherman is buried there, too.
