Apparently you can find in-depth news articles* on glossy paper now.

I received a promotional offer from Wired yesterday that was too good to pass up: $12.97 CDN for a one-year subscription. $1.08 per issue. That's so ridiculous I had to sign up to show them the error of their ways.

Today I ruined any monetary benefit I might have gotten by also subscribing to FAIR. Oh well.

I'm looking forward to FAIR. Check out their current slate of articles. I figure it will give me more ammo to use against my Dad. Or more likely right-wing blogs and news outlets, since I'm more comfortable arguing with them than with my father.

Don't renew it. They'll send you another "come back to us" offer at around $18 for the year.

I didn't renew it last time, and eventually (I think 18 months or so) I got this offer again. Not bad.

I just need to find time to read it.
