Contributing Editor Victoria Gotch Cuts Super Bowl XLIII Down to Size

Day One, A.B. (After Bush)

Fox News Doesn't Care About Black People

At Fox News, inauguration day looked like the first afternoon a Negro used the local country club tennis courts following a legal settlement.

The Day the Porn Stood Still

If video killed the radio star, the Internet has killed the porn star. The information super-highway is about to intersect with the Hershey highway and, soon, no one will be able to get off. I can live without the auto industry. I can accept that Fannie Mae may kick my...
