Quote of the Day
"“Crackhead” is an embarrassing line item to have on a résumé. If meth tweakers had not come along and made a grab for the crown — meth makes you crazy and toothless — crackheads would be at the bottom of the junkie org chart."
-David Carr, the NY Times writer not the cute football player, from a fascinating article on his days as a junkie.

David Carr the writer is much, much better at his job than David Carr the football player is

But who's hotter?
That article is deeply, deeply disturbing.
I was entirely fascinated and yes, totally disturbed.
Posted by: Karol at July 21, 2008 02:33 PMJudging from what the NYT puts out these days, Carr risks his hard-won sobriety every day he sorties into the NYT building.

Amazingly enough, there are people in the world who change and grow.
Posted by: David at July 22, 2008 10:48 AMThat wasn't disturbing to you? Two little gils locked in a freezing vehicle while daddy smokes crack all night.
I'm glad he recovered, but that made my blood run cold.
