Not to mention posting nude celeb pix. I just Googled "Parker Posey" and "nude", and your blog doesn't show up anywhere in the 123,000 hits. (Not to mention the 7,980,000 hits on a similar search regarding Britney Spears.) So, I'm suggesting a column accusing someone--maybe Ian Rankin, hardly matters whom--of ghostwriting James Frey's pseudo-memoirs, profusely illustrated with exclusive nude photos of Oprah (fake or otherwise). People go to auto races to see crashes. Dispense with all this thoughtful and courteous discourse. Not once has you accused one of your interviewees of plagiarism, or killing JonBenet Ramsey. Get with the program, Dave. I think you need to expand readership by getting controversial and engaging in mad, ad hominem attacks.
