Ebad, a somewhat shy but always irrepressible gentleman from the midwest,
sent this one about perspective…
An easy guide to keeping 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.
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 really 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, a
theist 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.
