JR says teenagers are interested in newspapers. Mine are. The N&R and the NYT are on our breakfast table every morning and the kids read the N&R while I read the Times and we talk about what we read -- the social aspects of print should not be underrated.
In fact, just this morning my 14-year-old wondered aloud why the N&R would front-page an article about a doggie finding a new home.
Good question, Sydney.
Another question form today's N & R Since when did they start having columnists with one name?
Paean To Obama
Looks like , walks like an opinion piece not labeled as such. Let your love flow like a mountain stream Josephus.
So when is the balance column for Hillary to appear?

The byline on the piece you link is "Josephus Thompson" -- 2 names, by my count. Columnists, including contributors to the weekly arts and entertainment supplement in which this ran, are supposed to express their own views.
But he does like Obama, and we all know that's a bad thing.

Ed,
If you will remove the hard copy of this week's GoTriad from the bottom of your bird cage you will see that the printed version has the byline " Josephus III " and thus stupidly they did use only one name. Maybe that's his dancing name.
