THE WORLD WIDE WHAT ????
OLD STYLE NEWSPAPER MAN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THIS NEW FANGLED INTERNET THING -A- MA-JIG !!!
Town mocks managing editor as computer illiterate
""Things have changed in the last 26 years, but Bruce Hunter hasn't."
Give Hunter an out-of-style suit, a disco ball, a clunky phone, an outdated computer and a Rubik's Cube and he he is a happy camper
Our economy wouldn't survive without the Internet, and the cyber-world continues to represent the only hope of saving the Greenwich Time from becoming extinct
It's extraordinary that someone who is a Hearst Newspaper managing editor doesn't know how to update the the online opinion pages
The mystery surrounding Greenwich Time's missing online editors deepened yesterday as Managing Editor Bruce Hunter was rumored not even have visited the Green Kitty Litter Liner's newsroom yesterday.
"It's bizarre," said one insider, who was left wondering who's in charge during today's online coverage of the history-making inauguration of Barack Obama as president.
Added another insider, "If any of the Greenwich Time or Stamford Advocate online editors know what's going on, they're not telling anyone."
Hunter, a Hearst Newspaper Managing Editor may have appeared at the Greenwich Time's Riverside newsroom office today, but the online editorial pages were not updated for the fifth day in a row.
The lack of online editorial updates is fueling speculation that Greenwich Time Publisher John Dunster might be looking for a new editorial leader for the local rag.
Hearst Newspaper's struggling Greenwich Time has went through four men who have acted as editor in chief in the last year.
"He's here, but he's in a meeting," said a lady answering the Greenwich Time's phone.
Bruce Hunter did not return a call seeking comment. An Greenwich Time employee answering the phone refused to identify herself and declined to comment about why the online editorial pages have not been update since a Stamford Advocate editorial was posted on Friday January 16th.
Yesterday, Greenwich Roundup, broke the exclusive story that Managing Editor was fueling week old rumors in town, because he has been unable to update Hearst Newspaper's editorial pages at the Greenwich Time.
A source close to Hunter insisted that he had been in contact with the newsroom by phone to monitor the paper and it's online web site. However, sources inside the paper said Hunter did not call into the newsroom over the weekend as he typically does.
Others say that Hunter was recently seen at the paper heading to a meeting with Publisher John "I Can't Pick A Winning Team" Dunster.
Hunter was recently pulled out of unemployment by Dunster and is currently responsible for overseeing another major downsizing at the paper. However, Hunter is seen as relatively popular with soon to be unemployed newsroom staff.
However, one disgruntled Greenwich Time employee was recently heard to say,"Well, if Bruce is going to stay at the helm, then we had better have a full complement of lifeboats. As bad as the Greenwich Time has been in the past, bringing Hunter back is like getting flushed down the toilet."
A new rumor going around town is that the Greenwich Time online editorial pages have not been updated in a week is because Bruce Hunter is feuding with Hearst Newspapers and John Dunster about what should be contained in online editorials.
No matter which rumor is or is not true one thing for sure is that chaos is reigning on the Greenwich Time Editorial pages under Bruce Hunter. Once again today the week old Stamford Advocate editorial about Mexican drugs is at the top of the Hearst Newspaper's editorial page.

Having just arrived as a freshman legislator in the state Senate at one of the most fiscally challenging times in Connecticut's history, I read with great interest your Jan. 8 editorial, "Get to work cutting state spending." The editorial, in my opinion, provides an excellent blueprint for how the state legislature should approach the immense task of closing its projected budget deficits this year and beyond.
The editorial's central message - that the legislature must first look to cut state spending, carefully negotiate union contracts set to renew on June 30 and avoid any temptation to implement a broad tax increase - is an approach I support and will advocate in the state Senate. Raising taxes would be extremely ill timed and serve only to depress the state's economy and long-term tax revenues.
The state of Connecticut is facing a fiscal crisis unlike any it has ever seen. Since the writing of your Jan. 8 editorial, we have learned that the deficit in the current fiscal year is likely to grow another $900 million or more when we have fully accounted for quarterly estimated income tax payments due Jan. 15. Those revenue shortfalls are likely to result in an $8 billion to $10 billion deficit over the next two years.
There are no quick-fix solutions to this crisis. The only way we are going to overcome this budget crisis and get our local economy moving again is by fundamentally reinventing state government: consolidating government agencies and legislative committees; finding more efficient and cost-effective ways to provide social services; maintaining current tax rates and vastly reducing the size of state government.
This is the opportunity within the challenge we face: By putting aside partisan politics and getting to work together, we have the opportunity to redefine state government and build a prosperous future for the state of Connecticut. There is not a moment to lose.

To the editor:
Thank you, President Bush. Thank you, Congressman Shays. For seven years you have kept us safe from another terrorist attack on U.S. soil, saving countless Americans from death and injury.
In the hours, days, weeks and months after the devastating attacks in New York and Virginia, people worldwide expected additional attacks on American soil. Yet there was not a single one.
Whether or not it is high on lists of American priorities in polls today, whether or not it is a central part of a political campaign, whether or not liberal commentators dismiss it with the condescending phrase of "they played the terrorism card," terrorism is the overarching issue of our time.
The Bush record will be debated for decades or more, and history will render a final judgment. But no one can dispute the success our president and our congressman have had because of their relentless determination to protect America. They succeeded wildly beyond expectations anyone had in the fall of 2001. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.
As they succeeded, the Democrats and liberal news media turned on President Bush with a voraciousness against a president not seen since the attacks on Abraham Lincoln. Yet they too live in relative normalcy today because of the safety Mr. Bush's and Mr. Shays' policies have provided.
As they leave office, President Bush and Congressman Shays should be rightly proud of their success and the apparatus they have left in place to protect America. It is now up to Mr. Obama and Mr. Himes to use that apparatus effectively. All Americans hope that they will have the same relentless determination as Mr. Shays and Mr. Bush.
If they succeed, they will be rightly praised. If they fail they must be held accountable.
