Irony

I was out late last night, taking the off chance that Mr. Franken might show up at one of the local watering holes following his talk last night. No such luck, although I did run into an acquaintence who also spent the early evening hours at the Assemby Center.

In the course of a lengthy (and slightly sodden) conversation, this person made an interesting point: about the only thing the left and right can agree on these days is the shoddy reporting of what Billmon calls Pravda on the Hudson: the Gray Lady herself, the New York Times. Al Giordano even has an entire section devoted to the topic "Who Killed The New York Times?"

It's a little frightening to think that I agree about ANYTHING with the rightward-leaning folks, but contempt for "The First Rough Draft of History" is one where there's a definite spirit of bipartisanship.
