Caitlin Flanagan is Still Better Than You

flanagan112206.jpg
NO DAY JOB Flanagan
Charity begins at home: The New York Observer's Michael Calderone checks in with polarizing New Yorker and Atlantic writer Caitlin Flanagan and gets this shoo-in envy inducer of a quote from Benjamin Schwarz, her editor at the Atlantic: "She's done the math, and it's not really worth it for her ... She's rewarded extremely handsomely for her book-writing, and no magazine can compete with that. Any work she's doing for a magazine, she's doing for charitable purposes." Maybe she can get her nanny to write the articles.

Sign language: A newspaper's Page Six reports that NBC has placed signs boasting of their high ratings across the street from second place competitor ABC's headquarters. Rubbing their success in someone's face? Where could they have gotten an idea like that?

More O.J.?: Yes, more O.J. The New York Times's Richard Siklos examines how the If I Did It scandal reveals that News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch has his limitations. Okay, people: Let's put down this story and walk away.
