Apropos my post about the declining circulation of newspapers:
Some guy just knocked on my door offering a free sample of the L.A. Times.
At least he didn’t just dump it on my doorstep. I don’t think he did, anyway.
Pronounced "Patter-EE-koh"

maybe you can try to get them to clear the air of the L.A.Times crap.
If you stepped in it and it got all over your shoe and it smelled bad, it was the INCREDIBLE SHRINKING LOS ANGELES TIMES.

Another trick they pull is to deliver an unsoliceted paper to your address, which also seems to be a circulation “booster.”
Their circulation is down, and I am certain they recoil at their paper’s nickname.
“The Houston Comical.”
