Don’t miss this chance to own your very own bankrupt Moonie rag. It costs only $35 million a year to maintain and comes complete with its own snakes.

And from the article:
The finances are so tight that the newspaper hasn't paid some of its bills or tended to basic maintenance issues -- such as hiring an exterminator to deal with mice and snakes sneaking into the building on New York Avenue in Northeast.

I can see that they might not have the money to pay for extermination, but they don't have to give the varmints a writing job.

There was a three-foot-long black snake in the main conference room the other day. We have snakes in the newsroom -- the real live variety, at least. One of the security people gallantly removed it..

And now, for some strange reason, we have more mice. How does that work?

Black racer or black rat snake? Decline and Fall of the Washington Times followers want to know.

The vermin flee the awakening Burt!

And they're heading left, as might be expected.

I refuse to watch any more of your ICP videos.

Well, hell, it's pretty clear to me. That rat, the one pictured in your post? He was in New York a few years ago, in the building where Professional Therapist Dr. Katz kept his office. It was no great undertaking for him to move to DC in the intervening decade.

The snakes, on the other hand, are welcomed into the Times newsroom out of professional courtesy...

That's funny, because when I do one of those silly drawings I'm aiming at Squigglevision (which of course was preceded by many fine Canadian shorts like The Big Snit).

Fine Canadian shorts.

High thread count? Silk? Linen?
