Here's the new column. I got some comments on it, but I think I've come to the conclusion that the only reason I was able to get away with a junkier column this week is because people have gotten used to seeing my name and pic on the Op/Ed page, and look to see what I've written for the week. If I wrote every 4 weeks like I used to, then nobody would've read this week's column. So I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...certainly there's some power associated with that.
