I hope you won't mind if I think of you as my brother. Yeah! Reading somebody else's newspaper is sticking it to the MAN! Yeah!

Actually, though, living in the boonies, we subscribe to our local Pravda because of the obituaries. Okay, AND Ann Landers and the funnies.

If I could know who croaked without subscribing, I'd do it in a heartbeat. The idea that the newsies at the AP and Reuters are getting a penny of my subscription gives me a rash upon my sit-upon.

“I hope you won’t mind if I think of you as my brother”

MD, you are my brother, that’s why we can disagree and there is still no doubt in my mind of your salvation. Now I’ll let you in on a little secret, I just go into the office and go on line to the local paper and if I don’t find myself in the obituaries I figure I’m at least that much ahead. All of the coupons are now in the bar code cards of the local market so there is no need to buy the Sunday Paper except in the winter to start fires in the fire place.
