I Broke My Vow

Given how biased the New York Times has become these past few years, I vowed I would never again buy a copy of that paper.  If there were a newsworthy article in the paper, well, I could get it online.

On Friday, my Mom asked me if I could pick up a copy of the Times on my way to meeting her at her hotel.

Hey, it was for my Mom.

  1. Hey, it was for my Mom.

    That is no excuse.

  2. It’s okay if (and only if) you took the “window” copy and turned over the inside stack so what one could see through the window is the “below the fold” half with the writing upside down.

    It is a little bit of extra work but consider it penance.

  3. No excuse. If The One can throw his grandmother under the bus, your dear Mum can live without her daily dose of Leftist Rant.

    (Sorry, PatriotMom, but I’m sure there’s an actual newspaper somewhere you can get instead. Heavens knows we miss ours here in Denver!)

  4. Wait a second ? Your going to let a news Paper govern your life by what they write in it? Buy a subscription for your Mother and have it sent to Her and leave it go at that. What’s more important…what they write in the paper…or your Mothers Happiness? Because She likes reading it?

  7. Next time you’re in Cinci, I’ll see if I can hook you up with a Pro Dom to discuss your punishment. :P

  8. Just get reimbursed from your Mom and tell her that you will not do that again.

  9. #6: And when she reimburses you, insist on getting either the cost of the actual paper, OR the value of the stock (whichever happens to be higher that day).

  10. Hey, AE in #5, this is a GPW post, so it’s not for PatriotMom, but PatriotMotherWest. . . .

  11. I think it ws a shrewd investment.It may be worth something as a novelty item after the Times folds.

  12. The things we do for our moms. ; )

    Much like Err Amerika, the Times is being kept afloat as a vanity project by a left-wing sugar daddy. In this case, a Mexican billionaire.

  14. I feel for you ! I had an older aunt who liked reading the Times, too. Ugh, I always cringed as I bought it.

  15. Since it was for your mom, there is no problem. But as a dutiful son, surely you also bought her a copy of The New Yorker, as well.

  16. ooops, sorry. PatriotMotherWest.

  17. You put your family in front of your country in a time of war? tsk tsk tsk

  18. Next time, I’d suggest also buying the NY POST for when PatriotMom finally gets disgusted with the times.

  19. You should have shorted a few shares of NYT stock in her name instead. Oh, yeah — you can’t short pennies!

  20. You put your family in front of your country in a time of war? tsk tsk tsk

    The liberals and the al-Qaeda Times put their personal ambitions in front of their country in a time of war. Tsk tsk tsk.

  21. We all have our weak moments, but I’m reminded of back when I was a teen and my older sister would say, “I’ll let you borrow the car – if you buy me a pack of cigarettes while you’re out.” (In the olden days they didn’t card you.)

    The car! But, I didn’t want her to smoke. But, THE CAR! What a teen wouldn’t do to get those glorious keys to the glorious family car!

    I never did take her up on that offer, “If you want cigarettes you’ll have to get them yourself – I won’t do it for you.”

    I’m not EXACTLY comparing deadly cigarettes to the NYT (though you could argue that some of the stories they’ve printed were, let’s say “unhealthy,” for some people), but you still could have turned Mom down on principle. She knows you. She’d understand. My Sister always did.

    Be strong, it’s a tough fight.

  22. #20 – Right on. Libtards only like a war if it is all about killing conservatives.

    They have no shame.

  23. If you really loved her, you would have bought her the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today, instead.
