I'll probably be alone in considering this the most important article of the day.

Oh, wait, that comment doesn't make any sense. The Plain Dealer, delivery of which is currently on indefinite vacation suspension, lacks a cryptoquote and the Scrabble puzzle, but does have the Jumble. The New York Times does not in fact have a Jumble, other than Maureen Dowd's writing style.

My dilemma is that The Detroit Free Press has much better comics, but no cryptoquote, while the Detroit News has horrid comics (and lamentable politics) but a regular cryptoquote plus a cyclic string of daily alternative puzzle. Both have crosswords and sudoku. The jumble is only in the News as well, and I do that on occasion (we are speaking of the one with 4 jumbled clues and a "punnish" answer to a final question, no?) My problem is that I'll get the answer first and then suffer the dilemma of whether doing the actual jumbles is a question of intellectual integrity.

And Heh! on Maureen Dowd. I've had similarly disapprobationary thoughts about her logic skills.
