I haven’t bought a news paper in decades. Occasionally I’ll get a free one thrown in my driveway, goes straight to the garbage can. Not only are news papers obsolete they are environmentally unfriendly. But liberal greenies won’t go after liberals, right?

They are quite handy to line bird or rodent cages or wrap fish or produce.

You must not be a gardener. I am and I keep random newspapers for mulch.

I actually don’t buy the whole Internet schtick. Which is what liberals love anyway as they try to tell us it’s the clean way…but it is also easy to monitor for Big Brother.

Real paper is where it is at. A small screen where you have to scroll forever or click to the next, or see pop-up ads everywhere, is just annoying and not easy to get through or even skip to different things, esp. if you know where stuff was. I deal in textbooks and the real thing is so much better and more convenient than cyberspace.

My problems with newspaper is that almost all of them are commie rags, certainly in our region. So no point buying it.

My African Grey parrot enjoys shredding “PAPER, PAPER!” folded strips, with the remainder lining the bottoms of his large cage. We pick up unpurchased day olds at the grocery stores. Particularly the NYTimes. Westley is one of their best consumers.

News papers???

Oh yeah - those the sheets of paper that grandma used to put on the bottom
of "Peepers" the parakeet's cage.

I remember now....
