I also like that she's proud to be from Ohio; like your Abe, a good occasional reminder to NY that midwesterners have interesting ideas (except re: "christmas in stores" sarah palin lady)

Love her!
Gail Collins is smart, full of common-sense, funny and writes with great clarity.
Sadly, her strengths also highlight how weak Maureen Dowd has become. Seriously, Dowd fluctuates between completely phoning it in, taking random shots at the Clintons and rambling, ala Peggy Noonan.

That was folded in so expertly that it didn't even interrupt the flow, which it totally could have. She's a pro.

Sounds like she's been drinking a lot of radioactive meds, actually. But if that's what it takes to get more of this, I'm game:

I generally dislike the phrase "full of win," but this column is an excellent example of it.

Collins was essentially their strongest Op-Ed columnist before they sent her off to run Editorial, and I was delighted to hear that she'd be returning.
