Customer Reviews

Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me Page-a-Day calendar
I've used page-a-day calendar cartoons for several years, but this is the first time, I used this particular one. I listen to and enjoy the NPR radio program its based on. On the radio I can often answer the questions because the news is timely, but a year or more later the same questions on the calendar are much more difficult and less interesting because the issue has often passed. I'll probably try a different page-a-day next year.
