Do you read the newspapers?

I've sort of given up on the newspapers. It's depressing, full of violence, sex and propaganda. At our house, we do subscribe to The Star, but the first thing I look for is Calvin and Hobbes. The comics put me a better frame of mind to face the day. News reports usually just piss me off and/or spoil my day. And
I foresee it's going to get worst with rumours of elections coming up. So, let the mudslinging begin.
