The New York Times is a pathetic joke. Incredibly, that newspaper once had a good reputation about 30 years ago, and my social studies teacher even made the class subscribe to it. See, back then the paper had snob appeal because the writers were good at finding multi-syllable words to use in place of simple words, and because the paper had no funnies section. Even us kids were quick enough to figure that out. Nobody actually read the thing.

Nowadays, the New York Post is clearly the class of the city.

Clearly the NY Post is preferable to the despicable and subversive NY Times, but 'class' is not a word I'd associate with the Post...

The Times must be getting desperate because they sent me an unsolited request to sign up to receive their newspapers.

I'm removing my name and sending back the paper in their envelop on THEIR dime with a few choice comments written on their solicitation letter. I'll be sure to include a comment about this.
