* PICK YOUR POISON, BUT HAVE SOME FUN!
Thirstday, March 24, 2005
Dear Thirsters:
To deal with the dangerously incompetent leadership of the U.S. today, we need some humor to keep us going. Here, coming to our rescue, is Thirster in Residence Frank Pasquale, anthropologist. Enjoy!
Best,
Bob

Bob,
You spoke recently of comic relief. Here's a little for your own amusement, sent to me by one of the loveliest human beings I've ever known -- a woman who emigrated from Germany after WW II and who now lives at the northern tip of Whidbey Island in a Bavarian-style chalet of her own design. The source is unknown.
Enjoy & best for now,
Frank
===========================
PICK YOUR "POISON". . .
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country, for better or worse.
2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times, though they like their statistical pie charts.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country -- if they could find the time, and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but want the baseball scores.
10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country ... or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for.
11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.
12. None of these are read by the guy who is running the country into the ground.
