Desperate times

You see your house of cards collapsing in on you. All the hard work for the past several years for naught. Your readership continues to decline and you don't know if you can ever return to your glory days. What's one to do? Go to the biggest dog in the yard and ask them to throw you a bone. Give you a shout out. Anything to try to stop the bleeding. Will it work? One hopes it will because if it doesn't it's going to be a long year.
