ACTUAL CONVERSATION WITH A CRAZY PERSON

Crazy Person: (muttering) I hate the New York Times!

Me: Why?

CP: (glaring wildly) Because they hate Israel!

Me: Really? Do you have an example?

CP: They always put dead Palestenians on the cover. They're trying to say that Israel doesn't do anything but kill Arabs!

Me: I understand. But you know, to be fair, I do recall seeing dead Jews on the cover, too. Several of the bus bombings have been shown on the front cover, for example.

CP: See what I mean? What kind of monsterous anti-semites put pictures of dead Jews on the cover of a newspaper!!

Me: (Rapidly backpeddling away from the crazy person) Okay...
