Daily Star RIP

Yeah, so it completely escaped me that Beirut's Daily Star, an English-language newspaper far more widely read in the West than in Lebanon, has been shuttered. Apparently they forgot to pay their bills. For years. (This will not come as news to anyone who has ever worked at this newspaper.) A friend of mine who works there said the goons showed up one day last week, threw everyone out, and pad-locked the doors.
