BELLYING UP TO THE CAR

|

Okay, Glenn. I fell for it. I went over to the DMN blog (not the sports one, mind you). I’m glad to see they’re talking about this, the decision to run Thomas Friedman’s editorial upside-down. Friedman’s argument is that hybrid car technology could keep the U.S. economy “from going … Belly up.” So, um, that’s why they ran the editorial upside-down. They say so at the end of it:

It wasn’t [Friedman’s] idea, but we thought running his column upside down would help drive home his point.

(“Drive.” Oh, boy. That is rich.) Keven, if you’re still keeping tabs on those in favor and those opposed to the “let’s make everyone think it was a mistake and then force those people to groan as they turn their paper over to read a column that isn’t about turning things over, but rather about things going bankrupt” idea, then mark me down as a Yes!
