Welcome to Freeperville!
An excellent perfume idea. Can someone get it to market with TV ads by Christmas? Move over Liz. . .
“This is it. This is the last time Im going to write the name Sarah Palin until...”

Until the next time my superiors at the NY Times tell me to either get the readership of my insignificant, insipid column up or start looking for another job.
The skinny on Blow:
Mr. Blow joined The New York Times in 1994 as a graphics editor and quickly became the paper’s graphics director, a position he held for nine years. In that role, he led The Times to a best of show award from the Society of News Design for the Times’s information graphics coverage of 9/11, the first time the award had been given for graphics coverage. He also led the paper to its first two best in show awards from the Malofiej International Infographics Summit for work that included coverage of the Iraq war. Mr. Blow went on to become the paper’s Design Director for News before leaving in 2006 to become the Art Director of National Geographic Magazine. Before coming to The Times, Mr. Blow had been a graphic artist at The Detroit News.
Mr. Blow graduated magna cum laude from Grambling State University in Louisiana, where he received a B.A. in mass communications. He lives in Brooklyn with his three children.

“Charles Blow infiltrated a Tea Party event in Grand Prarie, Tex., on behalf of the New York Times. But, apparently he wasnt there to listen to the substance of the speakers speeches or to judge the content of the audiences character, no, he was there because he is a black man and he was intent on doing a racial head count of the crowd:
I had specifically come to this rally because it was supposed to be especially diverse. And, on the stage at least, it was. The speakers included a black doctor who bashed Democrats for crying racism, a Hispanic immigrant who said that she had never received a single government entitlement and a Vietnamese immigrant who said that the Tea Party leader was God. It felt like a bizarre spoof of a 1980s Benetton ad.
The juxtaposition was striking: an abundance of diversity on the stage and a dearth of it in the crowd, with the exception of a few minorities like the young black man who carried a sign that read Quit calling me a racist.
Let’s see. Why should I pay a bit of attention to this guy who is a graphic Artist for the Slimes and an honors graduate of Grambling?!(Since he is so fixated on race and “diversity”, one would think he could have weaseled his way into a good school and not had to settle for Grambling)
I have seen him on some of the Sunday shows. To call him a dim bulb is to insult Edison. Zsa Zsa Gabor is about his speed.
He isn’t in Sarah Palin’s league....in any way.
Hey Charles Sarah can kick your ass!
I hope you don't get your wish.
OR
Sarah Palin just published her second national bestseller.
That’s newsworthy.
The times does not write the news, their time has passed
That, and she’s clearly occupying a whole lot of zero-value real estate in that guy’s skull.
*yawn*
