The following letter actually appeared in this morning’s New London Day, and no, I don’t think it was intended as parody:
Is The Day becoming socialist?
Even though I buy The Day every day, I enjoy reading it on the Internet early each morning. Now I can only read 10 articles The Day considers premium articles before being forced to subscribe.
I’d like to know who in their right mind came up with this idea of telling people what they can and can’t read on the Internet.
It’s no wonder your readership is going down the tubes. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay twice for less.
Robert Jones Groton
If you are counting the stupid, you need to know that unlimited access to the Day’s site is included with a subscription to the paper.
It looks like the only things we don’t call socialism in this country are the few things that are somewhat socialistic: Social Security and Medicare.
UPDATE: Wow! My wife just saw an article about some tea party guy who called John Boehner a Socialist. I guess it’s become an all purpose, content free term of derision.
