The Washington Post recently dropped off a free copy in my driveway. I stopped my subscription more than 7 years ago. They've been losers readers every week by the thousands, according to a note in a local magazine.

Hehe. Now if they could just cut the Globe, so it fits neatly into the bottom of a birdcage, your happiness would be complete.

If it's not too inconvenient, you may want to stop by their office and return it -- "Sorry, not interested!"

Maybe every leftists should buy 5 or 10 copies of three or four of these papers... every day. Then their circulation numbers could go back up.

The SF Chron was doing the same thing in my neighborhood last year. The whole block got a "free" paper thrown on their driveway. I called 'em up at told 'em that if they didn't stop, I'd call the cops about their littering!

The Houston Comical has just revamped it's look, and littered my lawn with a copy. Same bilge inside, all new appearance.
To: pabianice
Actually, every hometown paper I've ever been around has dropped off free copies for non-subscribers occasionally as a means of getting people hooked. Boston glob did this several times when I lived in that area over a decade ago.
Now the real question is whether they're going to count you as a subscriber...
To: pabianice
Ah, I haven't gone out to the end of my driveway yet to pick up my Globe, so I anticipate my garbage bag present. In my house, the Globe has one function, as a wee wee pad for my mini doxies. Works just fine.

I cancelled back when they had those phony rape pictures. I found an unsolicted copy on my lawn last Sunday. Justed checked, the lawn is Globe-free. You may have a substitute, or they may be sprinkling copies on the lawns of folks who recently cancelled.
I did get one postcard from them "enticing" me back - NOT!. I don't answer unsolicted phone calls, so don't know if they've tried to call.

The Globe has gone over the cliff on news and editorials but the Sunday sports section is one of the best in the country.
To: pabianice
ROTF!!! Pre-garbage. Love it.
Whenever we're in MA, we always get the Herald. And usually we find there are fewer of those left than the Globe.

When a local rag started dumping a daily copy at the end of my driveway, I called to tell them to stop - I didn't want to be bothered disposing of it.

"arrived in its own trash bag, sort of "pre-garbage.""
Mpls Star-Tribune does the same. They've even taken to positioning people in grocery stores trying to give away Sunday editions.
To: pabianice
Every once in awhile I get the St. Pete Times (we only read the Tampa Tribune), sent to my home and usually continues for seven straight days. It never even makes it into the house as I stop at the garbage can on the way in and dump it. Prepackaged garbage is a good thing.

Newspapers are flown over to the Island early each morning. I have to scramble to get a copy of the Boston Herald, as they sell out fast. The Globe, on the other hand, is piled high and deep...
The only thing wrong with the Herald is that they hired that lying, plagiarizing loser, Mike Barnicle.

Free copies of The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, and The New Dork Times all go into the gutter in front of my house. They can rot there in their convenient trash bags.
