Bathroom reading recommendations

posted by on August 2 at 14:11 PM

The New Yorker has a long article out about the unsolved 2001 murder of Asst. US Attorney Tom Wales. Obviously, it rehashes a lot of ground covered over the past six years by local news outlets, but the article segues from the murder case to the 2006 sacking of Asst. US Attorney John McKay by Roberto Gonzales & Co.

It’s a loooong and recommended read, especially if you’ve decided to lock yourself in your office’s one communal bathroom and chat loudly with your friend via cellphone about “some kind of itchy vaginal rash or infection” and other highlights from the New Yorker, while I cross my legs outside and pray for strength (dear Jesus Prom King Christ, give me strength!).

Hey, you edited out the comment about not being able to pee standing up. Did you discover that you can?

I always tape those conversations using my MP3 player's record function and turn them into amusing MySpace videos.

Cienna, while some of the coverage of Wales' murder is a rehash, one key aspect of it is brand-new: the New Yorker actually names James Anderson, the Beaux Arts thug who is responsible for Wales' murder but has yet to be charged. Our local media have been, ahem, reticent to print or reveal James Anderson's name, perhaps fearing a lawsuit. Well, at least we can all now read - in an out-of-state publication, no less - that James Anderson of Beaux Arts is the unnamed suspect in Tom Wales' murder we've all been reading about for so long.

That article was a cracking good read.
