today, hard hitting editorials. . .

The New York Times Opinion pieces (behind a firewall) today are about:

1: columnist Stacy Schiff is concerned because of the lack of privacy in America. Example: Stacy's Pita Chips is able to ship chips to 133,000 Stacys. However, since she did spend the first half of the column complaining about how she didn't get her chips,

I wouldn’t be writing this if I hadn’t been cheated.

Last week the makers of Stacy’s Pita Chips — initially a Boston sidewalk operation, now a PepsiCo subsidiary — mailed out free party packages to 133,000 Americans named Stacy. I didn’t get one.

I have been a Stacy longer than most. I have bought Stacy’s pita chips on numerous occasions, at full retail. I am a serious snacker.

So where are my chips?

It sounds to me like her level of privacy is actually too high.


2. Maureen Dowd, complaining about the amount of Chick Lit in the local book store. I say, go to a better book store. I'd be more worried about the people reading US weekly.

Finally, the New York Times politics blog has the headline

Size Matters: Clinton and Obama Duel Over Crowds

Nice, if you're tired of the 1990s implications that hillary's a dyke, start using penile references to label her a dirty tranny.
