Well, Thursday's 9/11 and the election is eight weeks away. Time to get out the duct tape and scare the shit out of the gullible.

2. Yes. Stuffed in behind the front section.
I wonder if this is something the NYT officially included.

But, if the Times didn't do it, who did?

I should say that I'm in Michigan, a battleground state.

3. Sounds like someone was up early tampering with
the paper. I'd call the subscription department and make sure it wasn't meant to be included.

It's an advertising thing that the producers of the video paid for.

Just like any ad.

And btw, I'm in Philadelphia.

7. yeah there was a religion "ad" in my local paper today
someone had evidently paid to encourage the godless to get busy....

:eyes:

yesterday it was two carloads of Jehovah's Witnesses getting ready to roll right next to my house. I'm always polite to them as I send them away, but I don't know why they are constantly in my neighborhood. It's kind of weird.
