The Daily News

I love Thursdays because I love making lists so this week I got carried away and made two. 

Kind of a crazy title but once you read the first two on the list you’ll know what it means.  With all the headlines and whatnot around the primaries and who won what and why and who is staying and who is going…aren’t you just tired of it all?

Hopefully this guide will give you a deeper knowledge and clearer perspective on just who is who and reading what!  Sent to me by Gail and I don’t know where she found it but here it is:

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
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 are very good at crossword puzzles.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but they don’t understand the New York Times.  They do, however, like their statistic 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 poor job of it,thank you very much.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren’t too sure  who is running the country and don’t really care as long as they can get a seat on the bus.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don’t really care who is running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
9. The National Enquirer is read by people who are trapped in the line at a grocery store.
10. The Key West Citizen is read by people who recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in.
