      <![CDATA[I was almost more disturbed by the terrible, terrible writing of that piece than I was by the content. <br />
<br />
What will happen when Dowd finally gives up the ghost of her Carrie Bradshaw life? I hope she starts focusing on structured arcs and relevance in her writing instead of continuing to try to convince people that her headshot from eons ago is still accurate. Maybe then she'll be worth reading.
