(I’m not fixing that photo above. I can’t get the landscaping tool to work. People are just gonna have to dig Brandon Jenkins walking down into the page. I can’t dick with it anymore; this WordPress program is making my head hurt. Sorry, & thanks for reading….)
Here are your headlines for the new print version of Disclosure, on stands beginning December 19 and continuing through the 21st when all deliveries should be complete. This issue is on stands for a full four weeks, as we are back to a regular mid-month schedule after several special editions in 2011; we will begin producing special editions again in 2012 long about April or May, so be watching for that!
Each print headline is preceded by the dateline (location where events in the article occurred) and followed by a brief synopsis. Feel free to leave comments about each article as they appeal to you (or, piss you off, whatever the case.)
