The Only Newspaper

Every Morning old Lord Kadizzle reads the New York Times. This morning there is an article by Kristoff about the economic mess we are in. If you really want an honest view of what is going on in the world you can read Tom Friedman, Paul Krugman, and a host of other real thinkers and writers. These are people who win Noble Prizes for their skills.

On the flip side of the coin you can stick to local papers like the Bismarck Tribune and read about the quilting bee. If Jesus appeared in Bismarck and declared he was a Democrat the Bismarck Tribune would do a story on the leaves falling from the trees on the front page. Then there is the Fox News, Rush Limbaugh crowd who loves to be told what they like to be told. We all like to be told there is a Santa Clause, so Rush and Fox tell everyone there is a Santa Clause but Obama will not let him come to America.

400 Families now have as much wealth as the bottom 150,000,000 Americans. This is an economic disaster you can read about in Kristoff's article today. It is not something someone made up like they do on Fox, it is a fact gathered from real data.
On Fox Glenn Beck said God talked to him. No reporter I ever read in the New York Times claimed their information came from God.
