(One of the sites carrying it observes that it’s ironic or tongue-in-cheek or wry –forget which– humor. Never thought of it that way, but I think the site may well be right.)

Agree with your “3/mo is enuff already,” and I won’t pay for lefty drivel either! :>))

Robert, yes indeed. An oldie-but-goodie for sure. Thanks. :>)

Geoffrey’s quote of Heinlein reminded me of one of my favorite poems. I’ve thought it a propo for quite awhile now.

Waiting for the Barbarians

…Constantine Cadafy, 1860 – 1933
…tr. from the Greek by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard.

Wow – just, wow.

In re The New Yorker:
I don’t mind subscription magazines – pixels are cheap; they ain’t free – but it’s gotten so there is not enough value in the rags to make them worth the price.
Three articles a month is usually all I’m interested in, and I won’t pay for leftist cant.

🙂

Piper, I think it’s because The New Yorker is a subscription magazine. Their policy seems to be three free articles/month, as a teaser.

(I notice that even free-marketers — of which group I am one — often seem bothered by on-line subscription newspapers and magazines.)

But perhaps you were speaking tongue-in-cheek. :>)
