People get paid for writing this sh*t

Matt Davis at the left coaster (a fine blog i've just discovered) points us to Jonathan Alter's inane article in Newsweek that argues the Red Sox' victory is a harbinger of Election Day.

I agree, it's kind of cool to see the parallels between sport and politics, but a whole magazine column! But don't take it too seriously!

These are the journalists who are meant to elevate our national conversation, not bring it down to the trivial, personal, random level we sink to in blogs. They're paid for this. I write this blog for free, probably detracting from my lifetime income if I cared to think about it. The idea that I could get a gig in a national print magazine for this level of analysis is freaking amazing.
