political perspective
« on: February 19, 2012, 02:33:52 PM »
 
Here's how to keep all that political 'news' in perspective...
 
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
 
2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
 
3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
 
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times . They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.
 
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could find the time -- and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.
 
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of it, thank you very much.
 
7. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who is running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated..
 
8. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores.
 
9. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is read by people who want only the score of the Cardinals game. They drink Budweiser, Budweiser, and wait a minute -- what was the question?
 
10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure if there is a country or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided of course, that they are not Republicans.
 
11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.
 
12. The Seattle Times is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in.
 
13. Dallas Morning News is read because Texans need something to set their guns on when cleaning them.

If we were all forced to wear a warning label, what would yours say?

The Atlanta Journal Constitution is a very absorbing newspaper. Bleeding heart liberals use it to soak up the overflow.
 
You'd be surprised at how many 15 to 30 y/o people get their news, political and otherwise, from the Rolling Stone magazine, which is written by people who can't write--for people who can't read.
 
The Savannah News isn't as popular as it once was since they stopped printing KKK meeting dates and times, but rumor has it that you can still call the newsroom and get that information.
 
Whether you think you can or think you can't--you're right!
