Over at The Observer, Tom Scocca untangles the mystery that is The New York Times' two Pat Healys. The first Pat works for The Times' Long Island bureau, the second covers Albany.

To complicate matters further, Albany Pat is a veteran reporter and Pulitzer finalist, and Long Island Pat was his intern at The Boston Globe, yet worked at The Times first. Now both Pats have changed their names to make it clear that they're not one hyper-prolific super Pat.

Confused? So are we. We thought Pat Healy was Matt Dillon's character in There's Something About Mary.
