Chief Justice William Rehnquist is dead, and the tragedy in New Orleans and beyond continues. So pardon the trivial nature of this post.

    I think in order to REALLY blame the NYT, an existence proof is in order – is there, indeed, a picture of Philip Roth smiling?(Of course, they could have thought a bit more about the headline…)

    Steve sure likes to respond to Kennedy’s media log. If he keeps it up, Kennedy’ll have to hire the guy.

    Hey, anon, that’s a GREAT idea. But I have the suspicion that I’m already making as much income from Dan’s blog as he does.Maybe I should ask him to double my salary!
