Excellent! I'm still trying
Excellent!
I'm still trying to decide what to do with the blue plastic KNS box I took down last friday.
Ringer my ass!
Williams is obviously a mole or double agent sent by the KNS to destroy KnoxViews. Devious plan, that.
I keed I keed! Welcome, Don.

Hooray! Good work Randy and
Hooray! Good work Randy and welcome Don!
Yo, Don!
Steve here. Welcome aboard.
I know you miss the Knox News and the letters to the editor making stupid comments about things you wrote, but don't worry...We got crazy people here, too! But hey, just for right now...try not to say anything about terrorists and assault rifles, OK? (I've kinda got 'em stirred up)
Peace, Bro.
Steve
Farewell KNS!
What was it the wingnut posted over at McElroy's blag? Oh, yeah: "Ding dong the witch is dead"!
The "witch" is the "news sentinel" part of KNS. It's officially dead to me. And the future is not on its side. They'll keep sliding into meaningless oblivion as this Frontline report tonight will show. They're forced to keep bottom-feeding. So sad.
But if I long for "textme" or "Picture This," other fluff like photos of bar drinkers, or one-sided political rants for GWB, I'll be sure to visit KNS.
Great move! Great scoop! Congrats, Randy and lucky KnoxViewers!
Hello, Don!
Thanks for bouncing back and posting here.
It is gooood.
Mr. Williams
We await your words. Post early and post often.
Be a blessing to someone today.
Welcome Don!
Welcome Don!
with apologies to Hoboken
welcome to the last seacoast of bohemia.
