If you googled me you would learn that I am a political columnist for the NYT and that my most recent book, "Are Men Necessary," received quite a lot of comment. Whoo-boy. You are forgiven for not following literary controvery, as you are, how shall I say, too busy frying your brain on far-flung beaches.
I read this blog because I always learn something from my talented colleague, Ms. Dowling.
By matter of repetition (because I am certain that you already have scoured my epoch with the finest tooth comb), I am the daughter of a journalist. Since birth I have been trained to have an inquisitive and investigative nature. I feel compelled to tell you that should I have wished to put even the slightest effort into the acquisition of information surrounding your less-than-elusive persona, it would have been none too difficult for me.
My questions above were in reference to the picture under which I posted, not to your name, which you appear to highly esteem. I am sorry that your self-centered nature has led you to believe that I myself do not posses any knowledge of literature whatsoever. My simple presence in a country that is not your own seems to bother you with such strength that you lash out verbally with an automatic assumption that I am “too busy frying [my] brain.” I would have thought that as a political columnist you would have already learned to fact-check proceeding publication, but apparently not every writer as is precise as those that I esteem most.
And if you want to speak in a patronizing tone about my mother, or any of my family members, then I suggest us going out back and taking care of it the old fashioned way.
I hope you have better luck with your book then you do with you blog postings,

Criteria for it being a good thing:
1. Can he cook?
2. Does he clean up after himself
3. Does he look like Brad Pitt?
Where are you? Who is this?
I think it's Zamboni. Brad likes turkey. This guy looks like a vegan.
Maybe Brad should beat him up.
Ouch. Brad, stop that.
