In an effort to broaden its appeal, the Washington Post has changed its slogan from “Democracy Dies in Darkness” to
“Riveting Storytelling for All of America.” The following are six runner-up slogans that were in strong contention:
The Kid Rock of Newspapers
Every Subscription Comes With Free Trump Bible
All the News by Writers Who Haven’t Quit
News? Fuck Yeah!
Ten Millionth Subscriber Gets to Ride in Bezos’s Rocket
Release the Kraken
Editor’s note: We want your slogans, too! Please share at info@contrariannews.org. Our favorite will get a shoutout.
After reading this article, a question. . .

Bull sh*t or horse sh*t?
Question - should I now delete my Facebook account?
I’m not that active on it anymore but I enjoy seeing what’s going on in the lives of various friends and family members. It also includes a lot of my personal history and memories over the past 15 or so years.
Question - has the president-elect been emuskulated?
Oops! Sorry about that ‘typo’ in the headline. Where’s autocorrect when it’s really needed?
How much to feed a cat?
I am the “mom” of 2 Snowshoe sisters. It’s a fairly large breed of domestic cat and I feed them each 1/2 can of Fancy Feast and 1/4 cup of Hill Science Diet weight control dry food twice a day. They are indoor cats and enjoy relaxing and napping during the day after a good night’s rest. My vet. says they are overweight and should cut back on their kibble.
It doesn’t seem to me that this is too much food but would appreciate other opinions.
Betty Crocker! Who knew?
I was looking for a cranberry sauce recipe using cognac and was surprised when the one that ticked off all if the boxes for me was from a source I remember from my 1950’s childhood.
Ingredients
1 bag (12 oz) fresh (or frozen and thawed) whole cranberries
3/4 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup cognac or brandy
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch salt

Is the plan to collapse the economy
and then declare martial law when the people who realized they’ve been played for suckers take to the streets in protest?
