But in the heat of things on TOTV, I sort of, impulsively, bet Posh, that The Daily Sun did NOT change hands.

He said that it had and he would streak naked through the square if he was wrong and I said it hadn't and I bet fifty bucks it hadn't.

Well, I could never find any proof of any kind of switch in ownership....





BUT..

as of late, I seem to be getting a different kind of feel from the paper. They are running more "out there" stories. This morning the HUGE headline on the sports page was" BEYOND REPAIR" and had a LARGE close up of Joe Paterna. (Very different for The Sun and slightly....controversial)

There have been several other kind of bigger emphasis on things of national interest and more coverage of shall we say, not positive local happinings.

OH I think that there is a possibiltiy that Posh may have been right. Now the ediitorial section still slants to the right, but the stories have had more zip and oomph as of late.

I am likin' it.

Do I pay? (Nothing is proveable, and many would like to see Posh run through the squares in his birthday suit)

Help me dear readers.

I am standing here clutching my fifty bucks in my hot little hands.


It does seem like a somewhat different newspaper. I can not find any hard evidence that it has been sold yet either just a rumor in the Villages, Wikipedia article.
