Why The LAT Op/Ed Page Is Better Than The NYT Op/Ed Page - Posted September 5, 2007
It all comes down to Barbie's butt.
While the NYT bemoans "the relentless hagiography of the Catholic Church" in making Calcutta out to be a wasteland, the LAT runs a brilliant indictment of the global economy from the point of view of a Barbie's plump rear end. The really delicious part is... [FishBowlLA]
