    Which is more abhorrent, those who aspire to have their nuptials announced in the Times, or reality show whores?

    Well to do society douches versus nouveau-celebs -- sounds like an interesting cage match to me.

    Wonderful job as always, Phyllis. And yes, congratulations to Messrs. Davis and Busch. And yes, screw you, NY Senate, excepting the divine Sen. Diane Savino from the Isle o' Staten, for her heroic and moving speech this week- where we lost the fight for now.

    An aside, annoying: The BBC and NPR are atizzy about the appointments of an Episcopal gay bishop today. "Controversial!" But they never come out and say that the reason it's controversial is because a vocal minority just hates gay people. This isn't explained in radio reports, but it would be so helpful if it were put in such plain, stark terms.

    This is why it's news, this is why it's an issue: saying it's a 'controversy' just means a favoring of the bigots' point of view without explanation, or opposing comment, I found deeply annoying today. Tell us EXACTLY why it's a controversy. Just say it. As Lord of the Sith beckons them to Rome..

    I predict "normative" will be 2010 word of the year.

    For as ebulliently joyful as the Davis/Busch nuptials seem, I've gotta give my tip of the hat to the old folks getting together more than half a century after they first met. If that doesn't say "eternally hopeful", I don't know what does.

    Reading about Oliver and Schumacher make me wonder if they should've been married to each other in the first place. Or maybe that's just the way stories like theirs tend to get written.

    Phyllis, if Rafferty had indeed had a shetland sweater knotted at his neck, I would have expired in a fit of post-post-prep joy.

    "Mr. Busch invited him to go dancing later that night. The bookish Mr. Davis never dances. But he said yes.

    The next morning Mr. Busch returned to Boston..."

    I don't normally like blogs like this, but Maira Kalman's blog is something that I'm adding to my list.

    I think one a month is enough. There is a lot there to digest.

    Pogue's videos are awesome, one of the best uses of video on a newspaper website.

    That said his "I am not a journalist" thing is total bullshit.

    If you ever want your heart to break, head over to the Times' migraine blog. It is called Migraine: Perspectives on a Headache. The comments section is consistently devastating.

    Also, remember when the Gawker tag "The New York Times is just a fancy blog" was like, a futuristic neg?
