Oh, New York Times….. Shorter Paul Krugman: Give up, it’s too hard Shorter Ross Douthat: Give up, it’s too hard Shorter Harold Ford: Give me and my bankster friends a tax break. That’s not so hard, is it?

Just to bring everyone up to date, Fenway is doing fine. He is home and things are getting back to normal, or as normal as they can be with an empty spot on the couch on Sunday and a hole in our hearts. Fenway is back to eating and drinking in no small part due [...]
