Our chances of getting a comment through the NY Times comment censorship police, and any Maureen Dowd column, are probably about as good as the Oakland Raiders chances of winning the Super Bowl so long as Tom Cable (bless his passion though), is head coach.
There are a few reasons for this, that seem transparent, and [...]

This humble, and somewhat obscure blog, if known, might not always be a favorite of Maureen Dowd’s. Here’s a very recent, but we think fair, example.
Today, Dowd wrote a column in the NY Times very space limited op ed pages, essentially saying that 3d movies are cool, or might be cool, or that people [...]
