Laura Ingraham referred today to the L.A. Times as the “Smell.A. Times”–I hadn’t heard that before.
I had heard of the “Washington Compost” for the Washington Post.
Can you complete the trifecta with a nickname for the New York Times?
(Extra credit for the Boston Globe)
Uhh, how about the “New Pork Rinds”? I’ll have to think on the Boston Globe.
Easy: “New York Slimes”
“Boston Load”(Doesn’t entirely rhime, but the point gets across”
How about the “Pee-yew York Times”?
And I really like Patrick’s “Boston Load,” even if the rhyme istn’t quite there…
New York Crimes??
new york times, i dunno, but we could have the Boston Growth…
The No Bork Times
The Boston Glib
Wait a minute… Who the hell is Father D. Byrne? Did I miss the announcement of a new IMAO player?
New York End-Times
Backstab Globe
Boston Slob.
New York Whine.
I’ve always called it the “New Jerk Slime”.
Don’t forget Atlanta’s competitor, the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation.
I like The Boston Load, posted by Patrick. the Globe is the New York Times Lite.
I don’t read either papers.
Now another name for NY Times…sorry nothing yet.
As for the Boston Globe how about The Butt load.
It is, as it always shall be, The Boston Glob.
This entry reminds me of a joke:
Q: How many newspapers can you fit in a jockstrap?
A: Three… two globes and a post!
(yuk yuk yuk)
Father D. Byrne. Hmmm. Are you a Talking Heads fan by chance? Just wondering.
Oh – “Left Wing Chimes”
later
What about “New York Crappy Newspaper Full of Anti-American Sentiment”
The beauty of it is, that also works for the Boston Globe, too.
How about worthless, it too works for both papers.
The New York ‘Once Upon a’ Times. As if to suggest that at one point in time, the NYT was a bastion of journalistic brilliance that has, sadly, slipped from that lofty perch.
Here in DFW, we have a paper that’s quickly tilting to the left. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, aka Fort Worth Startelgram.
The old gray “lady” is now better called the Eunuch Crimes.
In San Diego we called the Union-Tribune the “San Diego Fishwrap”– or at least one of the local talk show hosts did.
The New York Slimes
The Boston Load
The Boston Probe – What do YOU think the aliens use? It’s the Sunday Edition.
Boston Globotomy
How ’bout “Spew More Lies” instead of New York Times.
That reminds me, of something I saw on Jim Treacher’s site a while back…
“Some little pinko took a a break from wacken his pud to a pitcher of Osama and gave me a Inertnet link to a news paper story. If they love Moslims so much why dont they just call thereself the No Pork Times.”
How about New Dork Times?
“New Donk Times”.
But I like Nate’s “Left Wing Chimes” better.
“Charmin.”
The “Poo Cork Times”.
The “Lost-In Globe”.
Here in Minneapolis I call ours the Red Star & Tribune…
