Rupert is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Anything to make it appear that he's still in control of something.

The sea change has finally come. The Reagan revolution that has cast a pall over my enter adult life (I'm 52) is breaking apart. People have finally had enough of these clowns. Not a moment too soon. What a mess they've left us to clean up.

No doubt it will be lapped up by the same people who buy the Currant Bun, but everyone else will realize that it is little more then the News Of The Screws with a different typeface.
