The insanity of that logic is NOT new. Toward the end of my stint with OPubCo, the Powers That Be decided to publish a Sunday edition for sale in distant markets such as L.A. and NYC, that went to press in the wee hours of Saturday morning. I was assigned to put the whole thing together, working overnight (11 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday). The hardest part was writing a weather story about Saturday's happenings, before they happened. My suggestion of "Cloudy except where sunny, dry except where it rained" was not received with enthusiasm.

The project lasted only a few weeks, as I recall.
