In 1992, DC Comics killed off Superman. Also in 1992, George H. W. Bush was defeated in his bid for re-election. In November of that year, the Solipsist wrote an essay for his college newspaper, drawing a parallel between the two events. Shortly after this article appeared, Frank Rich published an article in The New York Times, drawing a similar parallel. We don't mean to insinuate anything by this. We simply mean to point out that Frank Rich is a thief!
THIEF! THIEF! THIEF!
Today, Frank Rich published his final column in the Sunday Times. We wish him the best of luck in his new pursuits. In all sincerity, we've enjoyed his writing over the years, and we appreciate his fighting the good fight against the retrograde forces in our society.
And hey, if he needs any more ideas, he knows where to find us.
Not for nothing, but: In the past few weeks the Times has lost close to half a dozen columnists (some have been replaced by staffers); announced they were "revising" their magazine section to be more (I paraphrase) in keeping with blog pizzazz; and, raised their price (at least in Florida) to $6 for the sunday paper.
ReplyDeleteAll of which is just my funny little way of saying: Get used to USA Today, 'cause the Times, they are a-changin'
