Sober, so long as you define sober as constantly drunk and ill to the point of falling down.
Smart, so long as you define smart as unable to think and requiring earpieces during news conferences and debates.
Pragmatic, so long as you define pragmatic as willing to commit any felony or any unconstitutional act to enrich oneself or push a communist and fascist agenda.
Good old LA Times. A strong and committed enemy of America.
It was ever thus.
When I lived in Downey the asshats in the LA Slimes Subscription Department would send me their paper about every 6 to 8 months; they would send it for about 2 or 3 weeks then send me a bill for a subscription.
I would always write them a note, thanking them for the free floor covering when I was painting, or housebreaking a new puppy.
I would then state that I was not interested in a subscription because I bought my toilet paper by the roll, not the folded sheet.
They kept that up for about 12 years before they finally got the hint and gave up on me.
