4:35 and 5:37 sound like they might be married. If not, then you guys ought to hook up.

Bashing Thwarted's IKEA furniture is time well-spent.

Go Team Brownstoner!

A$$ clown is perhaps the best word ever.

Parody? Satire? Scam?

Their claims about themselves on their website make them sound confident and experienced, like they have a solid plan, yet everything is really vague.

It sounds like a reasonable proposition.

I would suggest tightening up the language to make it sound more like a formal, sincere request rather than a smug dare.

For example:
consider changing "north of 800" to "above" or "over 800";

perhaps reword the final section about "'making a quick buck' with fees" to project a more formal tone while getting the same point across.

What's up with all the indignation? It's the freaking STYLE section of the NY Times. I don't think it that section is meant to be approached with a critical eye to the journalistic prowess of its contributors or the topics they cover. In fact, I sometimes think that section is like an on-giong joke; it seems to intentionally piss people off with its vapidness.

Can anyone identify any other articles from that section this weekend that are marked by journalistic integrity or seriousness and import of content?

Sheesh. Take it easy.
