Never really spent any time in the Midwest, as I was mostly raised in LA and in scattered parts of East Asia. Your rants are silly, though I like how much passion you put into them.
I am glad you like them. Now go back to writing your absurd posts.
Kid, aren't you just another Midwestern s*hmuck transplanted to New York who thinks he can drown the obvious in thousand words?
Your scriblings resemble poems created by schizophrenics: the same pompous style and little or no substance.
I think it's time you stop ripping on Midwesterners. There have been many great people from the Midwest, and many people are still here. You are no better than people living in the Midwest - not quite sure why you think you are. Most people who are truly successful in life don't belittle others (let alone 66 million people). It must be very satisfying to think you're better than that many people. And you talk about people being pompous and schizo?? Just saying ...

Can someone please make a note to the poster known as thefinalcutdemontoradvocusviolaeuros1 and tell it to take me off his/her/its/their/entity's ignore list? I feel if it just listens to me, just by chance, I could pull it back from the brink. I really want to help it, but alas, the ignore list-- once such a haven-- has turned against me.

You are such a great bunch of people: open, non-judgemental, easy-going, classy, witty and fun to be around. Chicago and Illinois is such a marvelous place: artsy, cultured, non-segragated, safe, progressive and most importantly run with honest and hardworking, in a truly Midwestern way, politicians.
I am sorry, I just can't help it seeing how your claims can't stand confrontation with reality.

Why? Who cares? Its not like there's anyone on here who thinks this poster is anything other than a nutjob troll or takes what they say seriously, so we might as well just let him/her/it continue to alienate itself and show how little class or rationality it has.
grapico, do you also have this Midwestern knack for overcomplicating things? We are talking about publishing as a commerce, in this respect Chicago has not much to show as there is a single title with national distirbution, Playboy Magazine. DC has more (Washington Post, Washingtonian, National Journal) and LA has more (Variety, Hollywood Reporter)
PS. Oxford Press USA Inc is not in England.
Not trying to complicate things, please come with the #'s. Tribune company owns la times, as I said earlier, which would be the biggest and most reputable of LA...
I'd like to see the commerce data, as I'm obviously coming from a reputation stance... with the size of the Tribune company alone it has to be high, though not even on the radar of NYC.
oup usa is just a branch or affiliate if you will...just like oup canada
all branches are managed out of oxford university... ENGLAND.

What? The fact that Tribune owns many newspapers around the country (soon to own less, is in bancuptcy protection) does not mean that Chicago is relevant as a publishing city as the newspapers that Tribune owns are not published in Chicago.
What numbers to do you want? A proof that DC's US and World Report or Washington Post has a national circulation while Chicago Tribune does not? Pompously, as always the case with Chicago, the so-called World's Greatest Newspaper (WGN) has virtually no circualtion outside of the city and region and you know it. Commerce data? Chicago has a single title with a truly national circulation and hardly representing "respectable journalism": Playboy Magazine. What commerce data you want???
***Why it is so hard with you guys? You are defensive to the point that you deny publicaly available and verifiable data. ;( That's pathetic to say the least and turns every comment about Chicago into a lenghty discussion. Someone said Chicago is number 2 city based on publishing criteria while we all know that publishing in Chicago is virtually non-existent.

Not only that, but newspapers are becoming more obsolete each and every day.
Maybe they are but I can't imagine a morning coffee without a copy of the Post for local trivia. It still sells in big numbers.
