No subject

[paula]

Ah-hah! I knew it. I knew it.  When I wrote in to Counterpunch saying I
thought they should ditch the Evil in Babylon thing cause it lessened their
credibility, and that I just liked them "cause you tell the facts and name
the names", I always suspected it was Cockburn and not that other guy whose
writing originally got me to subscribe, who took my suggestion, literally,
without so much as a howdyado.  That was one I thought I'd always
subscribe to, but, well, you know. The gossip thing got old.

That last phrase sounded familiar. A quick search turns up:

I must write a letter to NYP and clarify: my tastes are more Zizekian 
than strictly Lacanian, but who can tell one continental egghead from 
another anyway?
