I used to think the Times had more class, but now I wonder if the editorial management just cultivates an elevated vocabulary and patronizes better tailors. Strip 'em down to their skivvies, ideologically speaking, and we'd be hard put to differentiate them from Murdoch's minions.

I still love the NYT magazine, though!

I've got a new 'toon up on Good Reads that features Scalia and a Tribble with a really ugly growth on its ass. Might give you a chuckle.
