Good riddance. There was already an objective alternative that is self-sufficent. The Wotani has become the mouthpiece of John Morales and his ilk.

Its sad to see that we have let our emotions and disareements show to the point where we stop working together for the best of the tribe. Something that has been around so long is gone.

Too bad Bonnie didn't manage the Wotanin the way she is taking care of her new paper the Journal or else the Wotanin would still be running. Bonnie mismanaged funding for the Wotanin over the thirty years she was editor never able to be self sufficient yet when she left to start her new paper the current tribal council disbanded the Wotanin because the new editor in only one years time couldn't become entirely self sufficient she still took a small portion of the tribes money much less than Red Elk had received yet still not enough to survive and the paper was killed. Now Bonnie reaps the rewards of having no other paper to compete with for advertisment dollars as she looks the other way for current board member corruption as they keep sending dollars her way. It's a very sad deal. She really has turned a blind eye to unbiased reporting. Very sad way for her to end her career!

Daily Horoscope for December 24

Gemini

It's a busy day and you've got quite enough to do without having to cope with people clamoring for your attention and likely to go into a huff if they don't get it. Is this person feeling neglected because you're busily occupied elsewhere or are there other reasons for their demanding mood? Simply giving them a big hug could make all the difference to their behavior.
