San Francisco Chronicle

The publishers of the "San Francisco Chronicle" have been delivering unsolicited free copies of their paper to my home for over a month. A couple weeks ago I received a letter from the Chronicle addressed to the person who lived in my house two years ago. The letter suggested that my home's former owner should subscribe to their paper. The Chronicle is arguably the worst major city newspaper published in American. The Chronicle has a liberal slant that is so extreme it's almost comical. However I was moved by their generosity. I thought to myself, what could the Chronicle do that would induce me to subscribe to it? My children are budding artists and always filching paper from the laser printer. If the Chronicle could simply send blank newsprint or newsprint with "color in" cartoon characters then I might consider a subscription. As it stands, the only thing the paper is good for is lining the cat box or using as a drop cloth.
