Are you serious?

We interrupt our tidings of comfort and joy for this moment of grinchitude.

Are we really supposed to take this newspaper as a source of serious journalism when it devotes a cover story to its star columnist and what sounds like a gimmicky weight loss "solution?

Hey Howie, was it covered by your health insurance?

No, actually it was a freebie, a front page unpaid advertisement for a local cosmetic surgeon. Carr may have disdained journalistic ethics awhile ago, but I thought the Gang at Herald Square still had a fig leaf.

Buh-bye to that notion.

We now return you to holiday cheer while awaiting Snowmageddon.
