Have you seen today's Houston Chronicle? 3 full pages of anti-gun bull! We need to start a letter writing campaign! I used to have letters published pretty regular but it seems in the last year the paper has swung so far left they only publish liberal bull. One out of ten is a conservative opinion. It's even in the Business section It's never been a good paper but it's really gotten worst in the last year. What a bunch of commies!

When they go belly-up, I'm gonna laugh and laugh and laugh.

The Houston Barnacle - The MSNBC of crappy newspapers.

This!

The only people I eve see reading the paper is the guys on the corners on the weekends who are selling them.

The Houston Chronicle is a great paper --------- for the bottom of the birdcage.

In the old days I would pick up a paper for lunch at those news boxes on street corners. A paper was 25 cents. Clinton was president and usually ever day he would do something stupid. I would come up to the two newspaper vending boxes and read the headlines. Houston Chronical would have a headline "Clinton is great" Houston Post would say "Clinton is a hero". I would pick the Chronical because it was thicker.

I always wondered if the bosses at the Post ever thought about writing the truth about Clinton, just to save the paper and their jobs. They never did and they went out of business a few years later.

Now the Chronical is thinner than the Post ever was. I read my phone at lunch.

Miss the reading the paper. It's $2 now. Now I get " Trump is stupid we miss Obama" headlines from the likes of the NY Times LA Times CNN and Washington Post.

Apparently you can't fix liberal.

...and it's demise is soon..

There's a reason (several of them, in fact) why it is often derisively referred-to as the "Comical" here.

I buy a newspaper every time I BBQ. Makes a decent fire starter for those who don't like using lighter fluid.

Ah, yes. I remember the days when our choices were the comical, the compost, and the alternative paper that printed Matt Groening's strip.

Liberal opinions without counterpoints was one reason I dropped the paper last year. They give support too much of liberal ideas in the editorial pages. It was good general news for business discussions but became too biased and too expensive.

I buy a newpaper almost every Sunday......for the crossword, the sudoku, and the cryptoquip.

Every so often, on some week-end, I hand a $20.00 bill to a guy standing in miserable weather (hot or cold) at some obscure intersection, trying to sell the Barnacle.

He isn't begging. He's trying to make a hard earned, small buck... I say he, as I've never seen a woman selling newspapers at an intersection.

When I hand him the money, I tell him in a courteous and friendly manner: Please, keep the paper.

The paltry amount of money I extend isn't for him so much as for me. I'm no altruist. I do it because it makes me feel good for a moment and doesn't cost much. The looks I get gladden my hard old heart.

Doing random act of kindness is fun.
