The only thing that would make this better is to watch the NY Times commune reading it. They'd probably weep in their caramel macchiato skim decaf lattes and splash same onto their NYT-issued desk copies of "The Communist Manifesto", "The Qur'an" and (autographed) "The Audacity of Hope."
In the not too interesting factoid department, Arthur O. "Punch" Sulzberger, Jr., the Upper East Side little ass-wipe that runs the Times now used to work for the N&O in Raleigh. The Daniels family have Democratic ties that go back generations (Josephus Daniels was Wilson's Sec. of the Navy). So they sent him here for a couple of years to get his feet wet. I'm sure he hated every minute of it.
Brilliant piece. The man has talent.
