Yeah. I've about reached my limit, in fact.

I mostly stopped reading "shag" long ago. I never got how she could work herself up into some sort of lather, consistently, over, well, I was never quite clear on what. This time around, the bits I've seen, have been brimming over with pissiness. The pissiness/content ratio was approaching infinity. And 90,000 words in a month! That's about 225 book pages. I thought only a hack like Tom Friedman could write a book in a month.

And Cox. Endless quantities of vitriol. Why? We're supposed to be comrades. It's just no way to live.
