This reminds me of the old days when I got the morning paper The Boston Globe delivered.

I'm up early wondering when my pookie toons 1/7/16 is going to arrive

---

It would arrive 2 hours earlier during golf season...it'll be there within ~15 min. The Boston Herald would've been better...

Agreed! I now get the Herald. I stopped The Globe when they suspended Jeff Jacoby back in 2000 for a bogus charge of plagiarism during the Bush/Gore presidential race. Jacoby was the only conservative voice in the whole paper.

" In 2000, Jacoby was suspended by the Globe for four months without pay for what the paper called his "serious journalistic misconduct" in failing to provide sources for a Fourth of July column on the fate of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Although the themes and ideas in the column had already appeared in other media outlets, Jacoby neglected to mention that the column's content was not original. The Globe "avoided calling the column a work of plagiarism."[2] On CNN's Reliable Sources, veteran journalists Bernard Kalb and Howard Kurtz concluded that "Jeff Jacoby got shafted by the Boston Globe."[3] Time magazine's Lance Morrow wrote that "Jacoby's offense was no offense."[4] Many conservative organizations and commentators expressed outrage, saying that Jacoby had been unfairly held to a far stricter standard than other journalists would be.[5] The Boston Phoenix, often at odds with Jacoby's views, also rose to Jacoby's defense.[6]" from Wiki

And from the "Now We Know Dept".... we now know that a golf tee time affects our daily pookie toons delivery!!

Who knew that a tee time and the pookie toons delivery go together? A hearty thanks for the toons whenever they arrive our friend!
