The optics of having this particular fight this particular week are not
terrific, an accident of scheduling that has Scrooge McDuck, Montgomery
Burns, and Richie Rich ambling around the Supreme Court plaza on
Tuesday, bemoaning the diminution of their voices in the national
political conversation.
Btw, Dahlia was the Slate-ster who took the Ken Jennings news quiz on the record this week and I buried her. I scored 465 points to Dahlia’s 255 and the average score of 283. She still, however, has much better hair than I do, dammit…
Speaking of Slate. is it just me or does anyone else hate their cluttered, user hostile redesign? Last week, I had to google the news quiz instead of finding it on the site. I’m peeved and vexed but I’m not breaking up with Slate: I’d miss reading Dahlia, Dave Weigel, and Seth Stevenson too much.
That is all.
