A matinee, a Pinter play, perhaps a piece of Mahler's. I'll drink to that:
- Is there really such as thing as "excessive" lap dances?
- Can anyone figure out from this story if Charlie Crist did good, bad or got a free couch out of the deal?
- Trib good: pinning Tampa City Councilwoman Gwen Miller in a corner for missing the budget meeting for junket to Spain. Especially love Miller's refusal to tell voters how she would have decided on the budget and property taxes. Now that's accountability.
- Trib bad: Dan Ruth mails it in with a dream sequence column.
- Democrats are from Mars; Republicans are from Venus.
- Hotline gathers the reax to Clinton's eruption. With elections a month away and Democratic spinners on all the morning shows today in the wake of this diatribe, does anyone doubt this is a campaign stunt to pump up the base?
- CJR, Krugman and the use of economic stats.
- Thomas, ease up a bit on the Times-is-great thing, would ya?
