On Real America, with Abe Sauer and Zack P.: The Awl 2010 Benefit Calendar
"The Coronet then exploded, due to too much power."
YES! Awesome.
Would a little Jalopnik exploitation be so awful? Just asking.

On Does Paying Sources Even Work?
Hard to beat the excellent deal Vanity Fair got on its Deep Throat exclusive. $10k is pretty much a bargain for something like that.

On Long Player With D. R. Adams: Gorf, The End Of The World, And The Legacy Of Danzig
Great post. I will note that the 280-Z was made by Datsun, not Mazda. But only because it feels so much more 80s just to say that word, "DATSUN."

On Malcolm Gladwell and Adam Gopnik
It sounds like you actually read the piece! Scocca sounds like he skimmed it, looking for bitchy things to say, and thus ended up slamming Gladwell for not attaching an important caveat that he did, in fact, attach, quite prominently. Also ended up calling him a racist, which is quite a bit more than bitchy, but it's all in a big long IM stream and thus casual and thus we're not supposed to overanalyze it, or analyze it all, I guess.

Was the thing about his John Bircher propagandist dad old news, or the thing about him being a compulsive hoarder who ruins his apartments? (I honestly am not sure.)
