OC Weekly’s Trendzilla, by Vickie Chang goes off on “Sex in the city.” Finally, someone else who doesn’t, even remotely, see the appeal of that show. Carrie Bradshaw bores me. Her fake column even bores me, and we never really even read it. And her friends, arrrh. I wish Vickie had a show. Now THAT […]

“The Medium” is The Message…Or the Reverse of That.
I like Virginia Heffernan’s Blog, The Medium, in the New York Times Magazine.
