Walk, Don't Run, To Your Nearest Newsstand...
and look at the cover of (but don't buy) the current Reader's Digest.

Is that not one of the most diabolical-looking pictures of Bush* you've ever seen? How odd that the conservative Bush-loving Carlson-adoring publication like Reader's Digest would choose such a creepy photo of Bush*.

But then again... it might have actually BEEN the best one they could find.

1. Don't shoot me, I subscribe...
Reminds me of my mom, and it's a good "bathroom reader".

The article has cartoon like pictures for each candidate. I was ticked because they made Kerry look like a fool, while Bush's was more life like. And of course, being Reader's Digest, was slanted toward Bush.

2. We subscribed also... (bathroom reading as well)
and probably would have renewed our subscription... except for the fact that Tucker Carlson is now a regular contributor.

At that point, we simply permitted the existing subscription to expire and we'll have nothing more to do with them.

Change is good.

P.S. I only saw the cover while standing in line at the grocery store. I refused to even touch it to look inside while I was waiting for my turn to check out.

That's the August issue from the website. I'm guessing that's NOT the one you mean. :)

4. I don't have too... Years after I decided that I couldn't stomach the RD's
political slant, my mother started giving me gift subscriptions of RD every Christmas.... Sigh.
