What Is the Value of Truth? - New York Times

Dan Mitchell, in a What's Online column, looks at the strange support James Frey has gotten after it was revealed that he'd made up a lot of his "memoir". He seems especially impressed by Oprah's 'logic'.

Mitchell also looks at a Mac expert who dared to note online what he doesn't like about Macs, and whose list of small peeves unleashed rabid fans of the computer system.

There's also a link to a Consumer Reports report on organic food, and a short take on a 19-year-old who saved up so he could spend six days a week at Disney World for a year.

(On that last bit, I wonder if it ever occurred to the kid he could have, like, applied for a job and been paid to spend several days a week there?)
