You have to admit, they’ve got moxie—two teenagers arrested in attempt to extort from myspace.com. The only problem with their plan is that it was stupid, which is not something that an 18- and a 19-year-old can be expected to account for. Especially, if you will forgive me, where Myspace is an influence.
We have had a pleasant (if impromptu) Memorial Day Weekend vacation here at the Times, and so I apologize if you have been wondering where the song was Friday and Monday. I blame the military-industrial complex. For this, and many other things.
As for memorials themselves, several of the Interns (none of whom, I would like to note, have attempted, at least with any success, to blackmail a major corporation while under my employ) have been playing Call of Duty on their Playstation 2, in what they have loosely described as an homage to half-remembered uncles and grandfathers. Touching, from them.
