The Pamphleteer

During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree. The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

YOU ARE WHAT NEWSPAPER YOU READ

(From John, our correspondent in Narrowsburg.)


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, 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.
