Boomers are fading as a viable demographic. They're going after your readers, Stranger!

Wow, that's pretty ditzy. However, I felt this line was somewhat accurate:

"I get the scientific book about how the world is ending, and she gets the book about oppressed women in the Middle East."

It's true, at least in my case (me = woman)

Similarly appalled. Maybe she can get a little gay-boy side kick to go shopping with her. You know, that flaming-girl's-best-friend-tell-her-she's-fabulous-type. She needs to have a friend to treat like a non human accessory to add to the absurdity of this trivial creation.

Fancher is to style what Erica C. Barnett is to journalism.

Unfortunately, if you want to read a local newspaper, you have to read the Sunday Times, even if you subscribe to the PI. You can't get a weekday PI-only, no Sunday subscription. I tried.

Pamela Sitt looks like quite the little hottie...maybe she could give Erica some tips on how to be less of a shrew and maybe get laid....

Erica is a goddess, a great journalist and completely, absolutely right. The Times being chummy: It feels like Dick Cheney asking if we want to hang out.

God, how unseemly and tiresome. Why not spend your time doing some real journalism, rather than bore us with endless cheap shots at the Weekly, the dailies, etc.

Erica, you applied at the Times and got turned down. When you've outgrown your "edgy" little $35K-a-year Stranger gig, you'll apply again. Ha ha. Ha.
