These are wonderful.
I used to get the New Yorker, but found it so overwhelming, that when I finally realized I had 12 unread issues backed up, I forced myself to cancel the subscription.
Keep up the good work! Fantastic!
Congrats, you've made it to the big time - your blog is on Gawker. And you're not even in New York!?!?! I will start polishing up my site now that I know midwesterners might catch the lofty gaze of the Gawker.
I love this! My guilt about paying for something that I can't keep up with, my New Yorker subscription, is decreasing as I type. This blog and televisionwithoutpity.com are going to change my life.
Wonderfully pithy.
Summary? Commentary?
It works either way.
