I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com

Greets from Tampa, Fl --

Stumbled on your blog by searching for the "Do As I Say" book (had heard of it somewhere or another, and was searching for gift suggestions to give the parents).

Just posting to say, it's okay about the New Yorker. I call myself a liberal conservative Republican (if that makes any sense), and am about to re-subscribe to the St Petersburg Times. Blatantly liberal and leaning in their politics.. and they sometimes annoy the !@#$ out of me because of it.. but they're simply one of the best written and put together dailys I've ever read.

It's okay to realize and respect quality even if you have to ignore some aspects of it!

I'm 57 and grew up in NYC with NYT and the New Yorker. I let NYT go in the Seventies, when I started reading Bob Bartley's WSJ. I quit the New Yorker about the time I started The Economist. I dropped all print periodicals after I got onto the net in 1998. Everything's on the net. Everything. Save your money; waste your time!

Good blog you've got here. I've linked it.

Waiting at the doctor’s office, I usually have just enough time to read the cartoons and one article. That’s about right.

Anyone who is into the (justified) mockery of the New Yorker needs to read Tom Wolfe’s essay “Tiny Mummies”, which will provide plenty of material for further mockery.

For what it’s worth, I recently cancelled my subscription to The New Yorker. Additionally, I received a prorated refund for unreceived issues. I was tired of getting ticked off at their leftie idiocy. I gave the person taking my cancellation information a good piece of my mind as to why I was cancelling. She was probably a third party contractor’s employee, but she heartily agreed with me.

In the past, I have enjoyed The New Yorker also…mostly because it kept me informed about cultural happenings in NYC (I love visiting NYC even though many NYC elitists would consider me a Texas “cracker”).

I also have thoroughly enjoyed their cartoons through the years. However…for the earlier commenter here…you CAN get LOTSA’ New Yorker cartoons for free…at http://www.cartoonbank.com . It’s a great site where New Yorker cartoons are indexed by genre and time of publishing.

I feel your pain. I've been a subscriber to The Economist for years but the last 4 years the editorial board of TE has gone down the drain. Since they still have decent business, books, economics and science sections, and the obit page, I've continued the subscription.
As for the rest of The Economist, I use it as a good source of blogging material.

You’re no hypocrite. If there are articles you enjoy, then the New Yorker has earned your subscription money. To deny yourself the NYer or other publication b/c of occasional or, okay, frequent objectionable articles would seem like a censoring of all material that didn’t agree with your views. I’m sure there are Nation readers who would never touch a National Review (and vice versa); like their heads would explode if exposed to an opposing viewpoint. I always check out the New Yorker when I’m in the airport. I really want to buy it so I’ll have something else to read on the plane. Sometimes I do, but most of the time it just doesn’t interest me.

By the way, I really enjoy your writing — it is a pleasure to read such well considered and well expressed thoughts. And as a New Yorker surrounded by knee-jerk liberals (who I have remained friends with) I REALLY know where you’re coming from!

Ugh, the New Yorker. We were given copies in AP English Lit (forced subscriptions in reality paid for by our tutition) my senior year in high school (in Tennessee) and had to write journal entries about articles. Pretentious crap!
