Abridged Daily News ColumnistsOkay, I’m going to say nice things about all the Daily News columns today. Really! Jill Porter: No Hershey’s cracklicious mints this time. Ahh, it’s sort of a defense about the attention paid to the Bonnie half of the Bonnie & Clyde. It’s pretty good. Chris Brennan: This is another column about the West Philly El construction that is taking forever and destroying businesses. (Nobody has a place to park. Couldn’t they take the Subway? Whatever.) It’s about how the money the government put aside to help those local businesses hasn’t been spent, even at local bars. Can somebody pay me to drink? That would be great. Anyway, this column is pretty good, too. John Baer: John Baer’s usually a pretty decent columnist, and today’s column is about Pennsylvania’s chief justice, who is… I have no idea. Neither do you. (Maybe ChrissMari does.) So: Good! The stuff about the soon to be chief justice, Ron Castille (Hey! I at least know this name!), is kinda pointless but the stuff about the 2010 governor’s race is interesting. Pretty good. Stu Bykofsky: Bykofsky admits a mistake in the fourth sentence, which makes the column already good. (Lots of columnists won’t apologize.) And he says he likes humans, so another win. Pretty good. Debbie Woodell: Woodell, the paper’s columnist on gay issues, says “don’t ask, don’t tell” should be eliminated in the military. Shouldn’t the army take all the soldiers they can get, etc. Also, this column is short. Yay! Again, pretty good. Deborah Leavy: Essentially a plug for DonorChoose.org, which allows teachers to request books to help, uh, teach children. Good cause, etc. Pretty good. Man, that was a lot of columns to say nice things about. Honestly, I’m just happy I’m done; I had to enjoy what I was reading for too long there. |

do you have a job interview at the daily news today? stu, pretty good? talk about a sell out. stu’s best-ever column was putrid.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to end the post with “Feel free to berate me in the comments.”
Well, if you insist …
The least John Baer could have done to make the judge-wanting-to-kick-his-ass column interesting is have dialogue with the guy. At least then there would be something interesting to read. Also, Baer has the grammatical knowledge of a third grader (which, sadly, most times is the same as an 11th grader). If he uses a fucking contraction while using “was” or “has” one more time (she was = she’s; he has been = he’s been), I’m going to shove an AP Stylebook up his ass sideways.
Hmm. Pretty good.
I do know that. you jerk.
I think the army should start using gay porn at recruiting events.
