I like _The Christian Science Monitor_. It’s a good news source. It’s not a fat bastard full of stuff I don’t want. The keep the prosletyzing to one single page a day. It’s only $27 for a year. _But_ where I am located, it will always be one day late. I know that shouldn’t be a big deal…but it bothers me.

Web-based options are out because I generally don’t like reading stuff on the screen. Plus, since I moved into a new place, I don’t have a computer at home.

I can’t decide whether to subscribe.

Go ahead. Subscribe.

It’ll only suck if you get it and the headline says, “Rapture Later Today.”

With my luck, I would count that out!
