I was very interested in reading the Cuccinelli “worst newspaper” piece. I clicked it, which opened Facebook. There’s just a thumbnail there, so I clicked that, which opened another page on Roanoke.com that took forever to load. Now I have three windows open, and I’m thinking more about your “user experience” issues than the Cuccinelli piece.
Mark, thanks for letting us know. The Facebook link should take you directly to Dan Casey’s blog: http://blogs.roanoke.com/dancasey/2013/02/cuccinelli-calls-roanoke-times-worst-newpaper-in-va/. I didn’t have any trouble getting there … but the blog was a little slow to load. Let me know if you have any problems with the link in this comment.
He does something stupid and you call him on it. He calls you the villian. What an idiot. I can’t wait for the election. Let’s get him out of Richmond before he does more damage to Virginia.
