V-day gift

By Chase Cooper · Monday, Feb. 11,2008 11:39 p.m.

Valentine’s Day is only two days away, and I’m feeling so loving that I want to do something special for all of you who write angry letters to the editor about me. I’m going to give you the week off. That’s right. Today I’m going to write about something besides politics. You guys have put in a lot of work during the last six months, and you deserve a break. Maybe you can use the extra time to do some catching up on “Das Kapital.”
