Hey Marc,

Do you get some special Virginia edition of The Economist or something? 
I subscribe too, have been a subscriber since my college days in the 
1980s. I read it despite its consistent right-wing tilt, and I have even 
forgiven them for endorsing GWB in 2000--because of the consistently 
high editorial quality.

But I would like to see the version you read, it must be very different 
from mine. Are you sure you are not confusing it with Mother Jones or 
something?
