But there's some good stuff in today's Times, too

Okay, enough griping. There are also some fun reads.

Good news: Dennis Lehane has a new book out.

Cintra Wilson's piece about the goth look is headlined, "You Just Can't Kill It." I respond, "But why would you want to?" In fairness, so does she.

Timothy Egan describes "Heckuva-Job-Brownie government, Far North version." I do like me some sarcasm, especially concerning she-who-shall-not-be-scrutinized. His blog post is titled, "Moo," which I expect will provoke half the wingnutosphere into another round of screaming, "LIEbrul media again calls Palin a pig!!!1!"
