still above the garage, 16 June 2005

Getting all ready to write review of Friedman's World Is Flat for next newsletter, and after wading through the first 100 pages, I had my basic shtick in mind.

Then way-too-helpful reader sent me this link (http://nypress.com/18/16/news&columns/taibbi.cfm) and I realize someone has beaten me to the punch.

This review is fall-down funny and caustic at the same time, but so on target, based on my first 100 pages, that I'm tempted to skim the next 370 even faster. Still, I will have something to write. I promise.

Curses to Brian Foster!

And please, someone, remind me never to be reviewed by New York Press. Too scaaaary.
