Am I seeing double, or is the Arizona Daily Star now publishing the exact same stories two days apart? For instance, this story about a new Italian restaurant ran Thursday, Sept. 1, and this story about the same Italian restaurant ran Saturday, Sept. 3.

I know cutbacks have made things difficult at the Star, and I honestly feel terrible for those people right now. But printing the same story two day apart - even if it is just online, which I'm not sure of because like thousands of others I dropped my subscription years ago - is not going to win the newspaper any new fans.

(As a side note, if people want lots of non-recycled food news, they can just check in here from time to time anyway.)
