Now you can know the truth about some of our major newspapers
- The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
- The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country

- The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good a
t crossword puzzles.
- USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't understand the New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.
- The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country - if they could find the time - and if they wouldn't have to leave Southern California to do it.
- The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and a far superior job of it, thank you very much.
- The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care a long as they get a seat on the train.
- 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.
- The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores.
- The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure if there is a country... or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist lesbian dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country of galaxy, provided, of course, that they are not Republicans.
- The National Enquirer is read by people who are trapped in line at the grocery store.
- The New Orleans Times-Picayune is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something in which to wrap it.
