Save The Newspapers

Now that the Philadelphia Inquirer has given monthly column space to a sloppy, incompetent torture apologist to defend against charges of being a bunch of knee-jerk liberals, it surely isn't too soon to declare that it has been and will be an unqualified success.  We can assume that the Inqy's balance sheet is awash in a sea of black ink now that they're not jerky-kneed hippies.

After Ross Douthat fails to save the New York Times from the abyss, maybe they'll give Don Black a call.  Wouldn't want their editorial board to all have knee surgery.
