This post reminded me to call Houston's only daily, The Houston Comical and complain about their trash being thrown in my yard once a week.

I canceled my subscription about 7 years ago for being so blatantly biased.

But once a week they throw an advertisement package to everyone it seems.

So, I called and complained that I didn't want anything to do with the Chronicle or its advertisers and to stop littering my yard.

I quit the Houston Chronicle years ago but still receive a free newspaper (the entire thing, not just the ads) about once every two weeks. Obviously the Chronicle is trying to pump up their subscription numbers so they can fake out unsuspecting advertisers. Hopefully they go out of business soon.

After I moved from Houston I got a bill from the Chronicle--to my Houston address. I called to tell them I had moved out of town and I had never subscribed to the Chronicle--I was a Post reader.

Some time later I read that the Chronicle had been found to be hiking their advertising costs by inflating the numbers of their subscibers. I assumed they listed me as a subscriber--who never was.
