Today is the day the London Times plans to invade the United States. Not that you would know it, considering it wasn't even mentioned in the New York Times, Daily News, or even the New York Post. Which was the most surprising, considering Rupert Murdoch is the don of the London Times

Anyways, the Times hits stands today — but only in two states. (We dare you to guess which ones.)

The 218-year-old Times, whose traditional luster appears to have faded somewhat since its purchase in 1981 by tabloid king Rupert Murdoch, will be sold initially in just two states, New York and New Jersey, although anyone will be able to order a subscription.

So, let's make sure we have this right. The Times is only in New York and New Jersey right now, and the Baltimore Sun is the only paper reporting on it? We really don't know if we feel worse for the Times marketing department or the city of Baltimore.
