Truth about the Economist

Sometimes, I read the Economist because I want to know what's going on in the world.

Sometimes, I read it because I want to feel like I care about what's going on in the world.

I read some days so that other people will think I care about what's going on in the world.


Other days, I read it so I don't feel guilty that I have a subscription I don't read.

Some days, I read it because I miss high school and miss reading "smart" things.

But somedays, like today, I flip open the Economist, half out of boredom, half out of guilt and read it for the pun-y titles and witty captions.

Man, I miss smart humor.
