They have no quotes, no info even as to cause of death, but they're constructing an "unemployed dad kills after falling to pieces over two years" story anyway. The kid's emotional failings become symptoms of dad's descent into madness.

I've read the Times religiously for 15 years. In the past decade the oped page has gone from being left leaning to unabashed partisan. Somebody please tell Paul "The World is Ending" Krugman to take a fucking xanax and go get a George Bush dartboard if he hates W so much. His rambling tirades at W - no matter that they are sometimes partly correct - gives new meaning to beating a dead horse. To correct for Krugman's idiocy, Safire has become more and more right each day, fancying himself the lone conservative in the Sulzberger liberal resort. If they keep up this annoying shit and don't find a good moderate, I may cancel my subscription. But where would I go? The Washington Post sucks and the Wall St Journal oped page looks like it was written by Rush Limbaugh channeling the spirit of Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand. What the fuck? We need a liberatarian popluist newspaper, but I guess that wouldn't sell well, since making reasoned articulate points is way above Middle America's head. Eh, whatever... another reason to board the mothership for Mars.
