I was wondering today why I bother reading the LA Times. After all, I can get the Daily News here in West LA, and the internet has more, clearer, faster and better news than anything in print. I've decided that it's either because I like being outraged in the morning, or like the dead-tree format, or because I like the Time's comic section. If they had Day by Day instead of Doonesbury or the awful Mallard Fillmore, I'd probably be a subscriber for life. My wife seems to agree -- she doesn't even bother with the front section -- all she reads of the Times is Calendar.

Of course, in the 60's and early 70's the Times was right-center....
