Newspapers


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 far superior 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's 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 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. None of these are read by the guy who is running
the country into the ground.

2. Concise
and perceptive. I especially enjoyed the NYT, Daily News,(getting a seat on the subway!) and the NY Post comments.

Too bad #12 is oh so terribly true.:scared:
