6. I spend a substantial amount of time trying to read the PJ Star
Because, well, I can find it at Starbucks.

Here's the thing: You can tell that they are really a bunch of liberals, but that someone somewhere has the authority to tell them not to print anything that Democrats would actually like - or more pointedly, not to upset the local cavemen.

Thus, we get a lot of national reprints from AP, and the local writers stay away from anything that could be construed as even mildly controversial. Well - with one exception - anything a LaHood does gets 11 pages of free print, and they glorify him like a Fundy at his fourth church picnic of the week.

On the whole, a useful but not very intriguing paper. On the other hand, my cockatiel is quite fond of it. I always set it in the cage so that any pictures of the * royal family are facing up, so Barney gets target practice.
