    Which newspaper do you read?

    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 crosswords.

    4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand the Washington Post. 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 spare the time, and if they didn't have to leave LA to do it.

    6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run thecountry and they 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 San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country or that anyone is running it; but whoever it is, 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 country or galaxy as long as they are Democrats.

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

    11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

    I read the NYTimes but I suck at crosswords. Perhaps I should switch over to the Washington Post since they don't appear to have the same word puzzle requirements.

    I read the New York Times, The London Times, the Boston Globe, and the Houston Chronicle.

    I hate to even think what that collectively says about me (other than that I read too many newspapers).

    The Houston Chronicle is read by those who are retired from running the country and are only interested in comic strips now.

    Houston Chronicle.

    NY Times on Sunday.

    Houston is in desperate need of a 2nd major daily newspaper. I miss the Houston Post.

    Cover to cover: Chronicle and WSJ.

    Foreign affairs and important stories: NY Times.

    Occasionally, just to check up on goings on in the DC area where I have family: Washington Post.

    Food and ads ;): The Houston Press.

    I also often check the sports pages of the local paper for teams the Rox are playing.

    I guess I'm just as big a loser as haven :eek: , but hey, other than the Rox, I seldom watch tv. :cool:

    If you like to keep up with new technology (toys for big boys), NY Times Thursday supplement called "Circuits" is good. You can get it emailed to you.

    NY Times, but mainly on sunday
    NY Newsday, but really only the sports section. The rest is for morons that cant find USA today.

    local bi-weeklys also

    honestly though, anyone who gets their news from a paper is generally better off than those who get it from TV
