I was on the verge of getting rid of it in light of their Iraq War cheerleading, the entire Deborah Howell debacle and that horrible story by Dana Millbank about John Conyers' Downing Street hearing. I held off, frankly because I like getting the newspaper delivered to my house every day.

This past week, however, has been ridiculous. Between their ridiculous coverage of Sen. Feingold's censure resolution, to today's outright lie about Iran supplying IEDs to terrorists, enough is enough!! What do people think? Are there any papers worthy of home delivery anymore??

P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go here:

On edit: If you did, care to share your parting letter???

1. Years ago.
When they published a snarky, insulting editorial musing on President Clinton hosting a game show.

2. 3 Years Ago
It was right after the start of the war.
After 40 years, it was hard to let go
but I don't miss it now.
