Richard, there ARE other things to read besides the newspaper.

I kept the paper the day after Obama was elected into office. Other than that, I might have a few (less than 5) other papers. I don't buy the paper, read the paper (online or in print), or, really even watch the news. While that might make me seem unconcerned, or, less worldly, I really don't mind. I read enough other 'stuff' to make up for it. Plus, watching the news would take away my time watching "The NEW Family Fued" or "Reba". LOL.
