Why We Owe Sinead O’Connor An Apology
Without Googling it, who is Mehmet Ali Agca? It’s okay if you didn’t know. I didn’t even know and I had to look it up.

I have nothing against Andy Griffith and Norman Rockwell. But they deserve a little bit of scorn for creating a mythos of how small-town life could, would and should be.
