    I do but I don't really read it anymore. By the time I get it I already know what happened over night. There is to much news on T.V. So what good is the paper ?

    Peace

    the closest town with a sunday paper to here is 100 miles away and they want 3 bucks to deliver it to my mail box..
    if i did get it it would require me to walk or drive the half mile down to my mailbox as well..
    so no i dont get a sunday paper..

    as far as television news?? i dont own a television either.. i personally feel the TV is nothing more than a instrument designed to pacify the masses..
    i get my news off the internet,,and rarely from main stream sources....

    LOL well the amount of the paper is barely worth getting it, the delivery cost really would kill it and I would be damned if i would be willing to walk that far for what content i would get.

    Our town is so small it only offers a weekly paper.

    I subscribe to The New York Times, and read several additional newspapers every day. I read them mainly for the op ed page. I like to read the editorials, columns, and letters to the editor. I enjoy investigating different points of view. I also get news from national public radio, but I do not have a television. When I did I liked to watch "The 700 Club."

    Not really, for what they are, they are far too expensive.
    I just look at the wibblywibblywob instead.

    My brother calls the Internet - the 'WibblyWob'.
    I extended it to WibblyWibblyWob, as it then has three W's.
    I imagine nobody ever uses the first phrase other than me and my brother, and the second phrase, other than me :rolleyes:

    Edit: Any hot chicks? Susanna Reid , is not bad [​IMG] Most of them are a little old for me.
