Re: James Lileks to be put on regular, boring news stories - 16 years ago

Trouble is, Lileks' Star Tribune column isn't very good. Very frequently dull--the worst sin of a humorist. I've been reading him since his (and my) college days when he wrote for the U of M's Minnesota Daily, and his newspaper stuff is definitely tepid today. On the other hand, his website-only content is gut-busting at times; maybe he should be writing for Conan, or the Onion, or something.
