Slow News Day?

As I do most every morning, I headed over to the New York Times to find out what was going on in the world. After scanning a number of headlines I headed to sports where I saw this article detailing Mark Teixeira's boyhood fandom of Don Mattingly.

This is interesting, at least it was when the Yankees signed Teixeira right before Christmas and we had to read article after article about the fact that Teixeira, who grew up in B-more, liked Don Mattingly as a kid. Maybe we can get a breaking story from the newswire that the Yankees will be wearing pin stripes on their uniforms. Oh wait, this just in, Baseball is integrating! What's that, bleacher seats have gone up to $0.75? For shame!

For shame indeed, New York Times. Get your act together and stop recycling stories. If nothing else, call up Jayson Blair and have him make up some stories. At least they'll be fresh.
