The NY Times

Obviously, I read NYTimes.com often. I usually stick to the opinion pieces, the political reporting, sometimes the book and film stuff. I don't read much about what is going on in the city, because I do not care what is happening in NYC. I do not care about what is trendy in the city or what the hip and happening are doing. I live in the mid-west. Articles like this one are why people hate New Yorkers and the NYTimes. Jezebel.com's Sadie describes the article as "remarkably nasty." Even after reading that little description I was stunned and very put off by the nastiness of the article. More than put off, I was disgusted by her disgust. I am annoyed enough to have a hard time writing anything more than Who the f-bomb does this woman think she is?

Don't get me wrong, I love snarky as much as the next person. I mean, I love Go Fug Yourself, and those ladies tend to have no mercy. In fact, I just spent the last ten minutes staring at over the horrible choices made at the Nick Teen Choice Awards (and I wasn't even taking into account Miley Cyrus). Between Ms. Wilson's "It took me a long time to find a size 2 among the racks." and her To this end, it has the most obese mannequins I have ever seen. They probably need special insulin-based epoxy injections just to make their limbs stay on. It’s like a headless wax museum devoted entirely to the cast of 'Roseanne.'" I think it has been a while since I intentionally read something so self-involved and condesending.

Pat Buchanan distrubs scares me

It really isn't my intent to focus solely on politics here. It is just one of those days . . .Buchanan has never been my kinda guy. His behavior with regard to the Sotomayor hearings has been shameful and dishonorable.

But his statements saying that Todd Palin "ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops" go beyond the pale. For the sake of better ratings or perhaps because he really means it, he advocates murder as an appropriate response to speaking against a public figure. Instead of having a discussion on why the hell is the media is giving time to her daughter's bitter 19-year-old ex-boyfriend, he advocates murder. Of course, 'cause that would be rational.
