I don’t know if anyone else wants to bat a Pulitzer Prize winning “journalist” around for a while. However, it is an instructive lesson on hubris:
TomB,
I understand the reasons that people who did not read the article in context, and came to it by reading this blog, would have strong reactions.
When the piece ran 14 months ago, people read my report in context. Many sent me emails, letters and voicemails. The piece ran in newspapers across the country that subscribe to The New York Times News Service.
These readers expressed a wide variety of insights and reactions, none of them like the ones here from people who read a single number out of context and then made assertions about my knowledge, ethics, etc. Some here assert that I used some strained methodology when all I did was multiply and divide.
That was pretty cool, too, when he didn’t fuck that hot British chick when he was racing across the desert. She was a bitch, but I can’t say for sure I wouldn’t have boned her.
One word: Vomit.
Totally OT:

Context matters.
See, people read me, and LOVE me. So I’m right.
Viggo is nothing like his character, Aragorn. Too bad. To sidle up to Kucinich is the funniest thing yet. Viggo, just act. I’m begging you. Act!
This just in: Frodo Demands NH Recount.
Diebold = Sauron!
Not that it’s terribly relevant, but I thought it was pretty cool when he was nobody and married Exene Cervenka anyway.

I can still watch LOTR and be impressed by Aragorn. See how nuanced I am? How enlightened?
