I don't THINK I'm breaking any of the rules with this one. I guess I'll find out soon enough (holding my breath as I hit "Submit")


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 Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's
running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on
the train.

8. 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.

9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but
need the baseball scores.

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 Atlanta J/C is read by people who have recently caught a fish and
need something in which to wrap it.

f.t.

13. The county newspapers in the south are read by folks that want to see what guns are on sale, the fishin' report, see pictures of their kids at the football game, and who spoke at the gun club meeting, and if any relatives got arrested. :D

At least around here.

Andy, I had no idea you subscribed to The Floyd County Press. :D

Good-un, I enjoyed that.
Now if I could just find my horse.:D

The whole list was great, but this one jumped out at me. In my last job I worked with a bunch of heavy-duty statisticians; the types that can make the data show whatever they want them to say.

To keep everyone grounded I posted a poster-size version of this on the wall:
