Totes Unfair
Sometimes headlines (and accompanying ledes) make me laugh. From the NYT today:
Bush, Praising Fed’s Intervention, Faces Criticism
Critics accused the administration of bailing out a prestigious bank while ignoring the hardships of Americans facing foreclosures on their homes.
Man, the NYT is such a commie paper. Don’t they remember that the President (with the help of Congress!) passed a relief package for the people (that’s comrades to you, NYT)?
Those checks are in the mail. And while your $100 bucks or so might not rescue your house, you’re also not a large bank that matters. Good luck, proles!
Related note: One of my friends referred to the Age as ‘The Spencer Street Soviet’ yesterday. Laughed my head off.

I’ve been enjoying the Times a lot lately. What really got me was this paragraph in their unveiling of Spitzer’s call girl:
On the Web page is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,” a hip-hop-inflected rhythm-and-blues tune that asks, “Can you handle me, boy?” and uses some dated slang, calling someone her “boo.”

Yeah, I saw that! Completely bizarre….

I dunno this was a pretty weak counter. I’d think they’d have more traction with a katrina comparison.
