Dowd, illustrated

If you’ve just emerged from a month in your panic room — or, to borrow a Conan O’Brien line, a “spaz closet” for those of us in a lower tax bracket — New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd is promoting a new book, Are Men Necessary? Dowd has been interviewed, it seems, by half of the daily newspapers in North America, and she’s been rehashing the same points. On the New York blog called The Minor Fall, The Major Lift, the blog’s author (who is not named on the site, but is journalist Alex Balk) compiles an illustrated compendium of her most commonly repeated quotes, such as, “[I]t’s like that quiz show where you try to put as many things in your supermarket basket as you can in 30 seconds.”
