Whether Kelefah (he kinda sucks) can make the transition to magazine writing is the big question. The New Yorker under Remnick won't become Tina Brown's, and I think Ariel will be a good addition...but we shalleth see. PS: I fired at a Planned Parenthood when I heard they were KILLING FUCKING BABIES!!! PPS Sedaris is pretty funny... Ariel Levy is the real deal; she shreds.

Remember in the mid 90s when they got that new editor and all of a sudden it started looking like Vogue with perfume ads and everything? My parents killed their subscription for a while after that. I wonder how it's going to change w/ the Nu kids... PS: I was fired from Planned Parenthood, too. I kept stealing the "Free" condoms and sending them to the Times staff.

No one's life is that fucking interesting all the time. With the exception of Ray and Jeff, did you guys even really go to Iraq? =) and I don't give a fuck what's real with David Sedaris, dude is funny and entertaining. I totally agree Rachel!

Love that it was her sister who outed her. I just hope she really takes care of the pit bulls, whoever she is. Wouldn’t you lie if your name was Margaret Seltzer?

As big of a douche as he is, (and I'm sorry, I know this discussion is really 2005) James Frey was just telling his own fantastic life story, and cutting a million little corners. Better, less douchey authors, like David Sedaris, never had to apologize for fictionalizing his own 'memoirs' with implausible details. Either people suddenly "care" or are suddenly getting outed, or both. Or nobody's life story is as interesting as a little white girl growing up in South Central, and doesn't this seem related to the whole Juno bit? Our lives are so boring we reach with big, white hands for something totally crazy. The quirkier, the better!
