I've enjoyed the ads more than anything else.<BR/>But this last issue, the massive repeat litany of any and all perceived wrongs of the Bush administration...? Straight to the recycle bin. Didn't even look for the Hitchens column.<BR/><BR/>Hunter<BR/>Ketchikan, AKHunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665859950228150235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-16753380829719915762009-01-29T20:18:00.000-06:002009-01-29T20:18:00.000-06:00What Buck said.

Every other magazine I see also seems to have to insert some comment because "everyone knows" that George Bush is the worst President ever. <BR/><BR/>I think that you, DaveG, and I are typical readers who subscribe to non political magazines to read non political articles. As more and more magazines jumped on the anti Bush band wagon, more and more people stopped reading them. <BR/><BR/>It's only going to get worse and many publications won't survive because of it.TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-50998474081217670232009-01-29T10:17:00.000-06:002009-01-29T10:17:00.000-06:00I'm the same way.

Hell, I can't even read the comics anymore without having my political beliefs ridiculed and demonized.<BR/><BR/>Those industries have apparently decided that roughly half of the country is comprised of people that they don't need. I will greatly enjoy the schadenfreude that I will experience as they all eventually encounter a fiscal bankruptcy to match their moral and ethical bankruptcy.<BR/><BR/>They have spent years saying "to hell with you," to which I reply, "right back at you."DaveGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015349658680998609noreply@blogger.com
