"I've stopped reading newspapers," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said today to the troops in Abu Ghraib, Iraq. "You've got to keep your sanity somehow. I'm a survivor."
The wire services did relate that remark. What they didn't admit was the loud cheers rising from the GIs.

Considering doing the same (well, unsubscribing from the ever-more-liberal local rag). Will note those who buy two-page spread ads, write a letter to them and the advertising&circulation at the paper, with a CC to the newsroom, about why I'm unsubscribing. Figure that will have near-maximum impact.

Stopped my subscription to local liberal rag-Fort Worth Star-Telegram-two weeks ago. They sent me a survey card-why did I stop-I replied-bigger government, higher taxes, environmental half-truths bias to all your reporting. Goodbye after seven years-felt mighty good to hit them where it hurts. Can still get all the local news from their web site. Cancel!
