WaPo

I've been thinking about it for a long time. I've subscribed to magazines, newsletters, wine, and book clubs  before...but I've never subscribed to a newspaper. 

But the shit has been flying so fast and furious since Trump entered upon the world stage...and the tv news is usually so superficial...and, besides, it seems like for the most part all they do is read from The New York Times or The Washington Post or interview reporters from those newspapers...and hey, that Tom Hanks movie was fanTAStic, you know?

So this morning I finally got down to it and clicked the subscription button for The Washington Post.

Much to my surprise, not only was it a lot less expensive than I'd anticipated...$5.99/month plus tax...but since I'm an Amazon Prime member, they also gave me four weeks of free trial to get me going. (That low monthly price might also be part of the Amazon Prime deal, come to think of it.)

I immediately read four articles...all about the Trump / Ukraine / Phone Call Thing.

I think I've already gotten about $6.35's worth.

For free.

Not bad. I wonder why I didn't do this a long time ago? Maybe I was just waiting for somebody to tell me about it.
