Of course!

Can't live without it...

I try to contribute every once and a while too, but that's something I need to get better at... the Gazette's more than worth it.

One who does not read The Jungle Gazette has no advantage over one who cannot.

It's like the advertisement campaign for the Washington Post around here a few years ago: "If you don't get it, you don't get it".

Which reminds me... for you Americans (you'll get this), here's a joke about the various U.S. papers:

The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

The New York Times is read by the people who think they run the country.

The Washington Post is read by the people who think they ought to run the country.

USA Today is ready by the people who think they ought to run the country, but can't understand the Washington Post.

The Washington Times is read by the people who think the country is run by liars who don't know how to run a country.

The Los Angeles Times is read by the people who wouldn't mind running the country if they could spare the time.

The Boston Globe is read by the people whose grandparents ran the country.

The New York Daily News is read by the people who aren't too sure who's running the country.

The New York Post is read by the people who don't care who's running the country, as long as they do something scandalous.

The San Francisco Chronicle is read by the people who aren't sure there is a country or that anyone should be running it.

The Miami Herald is read by the people who are running another country, but like to check on baseball scores.

The [Boulder, CO] Daily Camera is read by the people who think they live in another country.

The National Enquirer is read by the people who think aliens are running the country.

NO, I don't read every gazette. Just the few I don't write.

Ninot, perfectly understandable. I skim the Stats in a similar way. Just don't have time to go through it all word for word.

Btw, Arnelos, great joke... we have something like this in Brazil, too!
The newspaper where I work, for instance, is read by the people who "drive" the country (cab drivers - seriously!!).

Aro,

Yeah, your profile said you were a "political cartoonist".

As for me, I read the Washington Post.... It's a bit left of my taste (it's generally considered center-left), but I read it mostly because it's a hometown paper and it has the best international section for any U.S. paper... The New York Times has a reputation for a "good" international section, but in my opinion it's bascially "Israel, Israel, and more Israel". As for the Washington Times, it's so thoroughly and completely biased to the right that I find it hard to stand even for being center-right myself...

I, as the other 94% of our population am illiterate and so no, I do not "read" the Gazette, but I do make excellent oragami figures from it.

I think the Gazette is essential reading and in addition it has been key in convincing captured barbarians that the apolyton way is not only the right way it is the ONLY WAY.

Got spare money?

As Editor in Chief of the best high school newspaper in Texas, I probably should contribute an article to the Gazette sometime....

Wait, I can very shortly...I'll send a pm later.
