Given that Keller's column has been nothing but a rage magnet since the day it was launched, that's quite enough of that. Time to revisit an old rash, currently in remission, but due to erupt in oozing pustules far too soon. Megan McArdle!
It seems that, in the gap between being booted from The Atlantic & falling into a sinecure at the Daily Beast, Ms. M has taken her Permission to Suck to Italy.
Fantastic oxtail at Checchino dal 1887, even though I was told it was "showing its age". I shall be completely spherical ere I leave Rome.

When I was in Rome a waiter snatched a 5-euro bill from my hand while I was pondering the Tip amount. It had been an expensive meal with 2 bottles of MARKED UP wine, and his tip would have been more than 5 euros, I can tell you. He grabbed the money and said "Grazé". "No, thank you I replied to thin air.

I let that out of the spam filter to mention - traffic here is about 100 pageviews a day. Most of it's because I put a Kate Beckinsale joke & butt shot at the top of a post about administrative bloat as a driver of university costs.
So I get traffic. It's readers & commenters that are in short supply.
