They've been blue as long as I can remember, and it is in keeping with their branding to continue with the blue. Glad to see the "Hey! We're in color!" 1980s reverse gone. Just don't lose the flag, C-Dish. You guys were waving it long before the rest of us hoisted ours, post-Sept. 11, though I have to ask: Where's the flagpole? Tom, I don't think the flag has done much for circulation. If anyone can produce numbers showing otherwise, I'd love to see for myself.

(To be said in a surfer's voice) Dude, like when did Chicago move to America? Question: How many other newspapers have the American flag in their mast. And is it keeping their circ numbers up?

Alas, it's wrong. We looked at no one else except ourself for the gothic or the blue (we've been blue for quite a while, as you know). Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
