    God bless the NY Post’s editors and copywriters. It’s the best “legitimate” rag in the nation.

    Post headlines were the only thing I liked about living in the NYC metro area.

    Oh, and the Met and Central Park. And the Brooklyn Bridge. And galleries on 57th. And Soup & Burger. And maybe Manhattan Beach. But that’s all.

    Who could have guessed that the ad by MoveOn.org about “General Betray Us” (well, his wife anyway) was so prescient…

    AIP – that’s kind of what I was thinking.
