Weekend Reading Roundup (Mary-Louise Parker’s Sexlife Edition)

Ms. Botwin if you're nasty

Ms. Botwin if you're nasty

Time was short yesterday, what with having an interview for this week’s Metro column followed up by Valentine’s Day brunch at Philadelphia’s finest watering hole, Krupa’s. So, here’s what I gleaned from a quick Sunday-papes read while watching some dudes ski around shooting their guns in Vancouver:
— Oh look, those Kooky Krazy Konservatives are trying to change history books to relay a lie that our Founding Fathers were all about forming a Christian land way back when Ben Franklin was triple-teaming Old City skanks of both genders. (New York Times magazine)
— Oh look, the former editoress of the Philadelphia Inquirer — now at Bloomberg News — was in the mix when Federal Reserve got public-record served about the bailout. My prediction: This will prove more damaging than those Nixonites who broke into an office along the Potomac. (New York Times Metropolitan section)
— Oh look, all those fundraisers that made people feel happy, happy, joy, joy about helping those who’ve been quaked in Haiti looks a lil less considerate now that aid agencies don’t feel as if it’s a good idea to even give them tents. Savages. And I don’t mean the people eating soil to survive. If I may interject a suggestion here: Give them the fucking tents they want. (Associated Press)
— Oh look, hand-sanitizer scrubs may be out, and plasma zaps could be in. (New York Times “novelties“)
— Oh look, Jesse Jackson said, “The Colts didn’t make Katrina happen, and no Saints live in the Lower Ninth. So you can forget that story line.” (Sports Illustrated)
— Oh look, Brendan Burke’s death sounds tragically suspicious. (Sports Illustrated)
— Oh look, 71 percent of Republicans surveyed still think Georgie Georgie Puddin’ Pie’s 2003 decision to invade Iraq was the “right decision.” Bravo to stupidity. (Esquire)
— And finally, oh look, Hickey found another excuse to shout Nancy Botwin out with heartfelt respec’. (Esquire)
