Greeley School Board Member To Start Newspaper

I’m not even sure what to do with this.  I suppose when you go to Bible College and run a tiny radio station, spewing hate-filled rants, and homeschool your children while serving on the local school board, you think $20,000 and $2,000/mo will start a newspaper.  Anyone from InDenver Times out there to check those numbers…

Anyway, from Greeley-Evans School District 6 School Board member (emphasis on member), Brett Reese:

… a new, competing newspaper may be in fact on the horizon for Greeley.  An anonymous donor- a local businessman in Greeley, has offered to match up to $10,000 of all donations towards establishing a local, objective newspaper.  I’m excited.  We have to raise the funds by February 1, 2010.   This is legitimate.  This newspaper will absolutely focus on the truth unbiased one way or the other.  At this stage I think it’s appropriate that we focus on two things for this new newspaper.  First gathering a board of advisors.  30 or 40 local people willing to make some financial contribution monthly, maybe $50…

Now, I made sure to use copy-paste from the original, ranging rant against the Editor of the Greeley Tribune, and I fully expect Mr. Reese to demonstrate his misunderstanding of fair-use, copyright, or other newspaper-related subjects, by suggesting that he’s being plagerized or something.

But this is awesome.  I’m entertained by this buffoonery.
