The analysts have never been to New Orleans!

FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013

Nor do they plan to go, fund-raising drive to the side: Later today, we’re taking the analysts to Penn Station for their weekly outing.

They’ll enjoy the nation’s cheapest happy hour, although we really limit their intake. As they do, they get to hear the station master call the 5:14 Crescent.

The Crescent runs all the way to New Orleans. The analysts love to hear the master call its station stops. But no, they’ve never taken that train. Nor do they expect to.

You see, the analysts want to continue their work about the growth of our new liberal media and about our public schools. We may get cranky about certain things—but that’s hardly their fault.

Should the analysts be punished for our own occasional blast of bad air? Youthful analysts need a new pair of shoes! If you want to help with our annual fund-raising drive, you know what to do:

A postponement: We plan to offer a fuller pitch about the work we’ve done in the past. In part, we think that review will be somewhat instructive.

Today, though, we spent too much time on Salon’s nut-picking. We’ll have to postpone that blowing of horns until the start of next week.
