Tobacco Avenue has reached a contract agreement with its reporter’s union after a strike abruptly stopped operations at the Richmond-based fake news Web magazine for nearly a week, the publisher said today.

A). Is there a mysterious planetary alignment we are not aware of?
B). Is is all Gene Trani’s fault?
C). What did Doug Wilder do to prompt this situation?
D). Are Mr TA and Gene the same person?
Food for thought for idle minded Richmonders I think!
If I had to guess I’d say good conspiracy theory, but I have another: the writer of this web site had to leave town to a place without internet access and came up with a completely lame excuse as to why there were no new posts.
I didn’t even notice.
