Houston Freepers - What the Heck?!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Imagine my surprise when I opened the Houston Chronicle to find this!

China Daily

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Is this business as usual in Houston nowadays?

[TEXOKIE]

OMG what’s that all about? Is the paper owned by China now as part of debt settlement?

[Ditter]

I haven't picked up my Houston Comical yet, but it won't surprise me to see this.

[gleeaikin]

Was this inside the Houston paper like a Sunday supplement, or was this all that you got?

[txhurl]

I gather that you, for one, do not welcome your new overlords :0

“OMG what’s that all about? Is the paper owned by China now as part of debt settlement?”

Yeah, that must be it.

Shirley you can’t be serious.

[Vince Ferrer]

The press for the Houston Chronical probably contracts to print other newspapers as well. Looks like a mis-sort.

[Nik Naym]

That two column article on the left side looks like it might be an Abbot & Costello routine.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

It was inside the paper like a section - like the business section. I am told that this “section” began a few weeks ago. That pic was from Christmas Day.

The atheist NORKs are going on a “Holy War”? Jiminy, I thought that was the province of the islamist kooks, not the NORKs. That surprises me, too.

[Doogle]

....just the commielibs way of “shocking” you into accepting what may be in your future...call it a test balloon, to see what sort of blow back they get.....

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

No joke, this a new regular addition to the paper. If you could read the articles, you could see they are not an Abbott & Costello routine. I thought my leg was being pulled until the paper was physically handed to me. Unfreaking believable.

[fanfan]

In Texas?

[GeronL]

The New overlords. wippee.

[Young Werther]

A Won Ton takeover. Pass the eggrolls!

[Howie66]

Hey, someone has to line their birdcage, don’t they?

The last time that I bought (or received free of charge) a Houston Comical cage liner was when Slick Willie was staining blue dresses.

[wolfcreek]

Wow! You haven’t posted in over 2.5 years. This must really upset you.

(only 5.3% of Houston pop. are Asian) (1.5% Chinese)

I have a Chinese friend who publishes a Chinese language newspaper here in the U.S.. What’s the big deal?
