Why I finally canceled my New York Times subscription

I wrote up one piece on NATO downsizing. I’m still looking at this Austria election in three weeks (right-wing guy is four-to-five points ahead). Between Trump and this Austria thing....it’ll hype up the state-run TV journalists big-time, and really shift the election around to a different angle.

Toss in three German states, the French President election, then the legislature there, then comes the Dutch election.

I’ll probably type up some 80-line analysis for next week, but there’s a lot on the table to affect this election (coming from outside the country, and inside).

“Question Authority.” I agree that’s a good slogan.

Says who??

It’s good to be the boss.

That is hilarious! I’m sure the Post will run that pic.

Suppose better late then never but what took you so long? Thinking they were gonna change? Canceled my subscription 16 years ago and have felt much better since.

In the days before caller ID, my young son answered the phone, the Times was on the line. “Tell them I’m not interested” I said. “But Dad, the guy says he’s not selling anything”. I told my boy “Tell them your Dad is a registered Republican”. Dutifully he relayed the message, then looked at me quizzically.

“Hey Dad, the guy hung up!”
