Heads Firmly Up Their...

If you read James Lileks's Bleat, hold on to your chair. In a case of post-acquisition frenzy, the new owners of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune have axed Lileks's regular dead-tree column. Are they doing this so he will be free to work on scintillating, witty features as befits the talents of one of the funniest and most insightful writers in America?

Nope. He's assigned to beat reporting.

I know I said I wouldn't be posting today, but when a pile of pure, unadulterated 100%, flawless, Grade A idiocy lands on my desk, I cannot leave it uncommented on.

    Read about it in his blog. Typically, differently-smart of the Strib, to put it in PC terms, as I understand.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
