Yet another tale from my father's 60th birthday party this weekend...

The following is a conversation had between myself and a friend of my mother's, who shall remain nameless:

Family Friend: You know, the St. Petersburg Times is very liberal.
Me: A lot of papers in big towns tend to be that way.
Family Friend: You know why most papers are liberal?
Me: Well usually because people in big cities or large rural areas tend to be more liberal.
Family Friend: I'll tell you why... because Jewish people own the papers.
Me: Oh... really?
Family Friend: And the Jewish people tend to be liberal, and they push their opinions on their workers at the paper.
Me: It was nice talking to you.
