- watches "Grey's Anatomy" unless his girlfriend forces him to. (Check, but she never asked).
- bakes cookies for his dog. (Check, but no dog).
- feels blue and takes off work to spend the day in bed with a copy of "The Friday Night Knitting Club." (Oh, checkeroo).
Update: Whoo-wee, watch the pile-on here ('How the Washington Post editors decided this was worthy of publication is a total mystery"), here ("I'm having trouble believing this was actually published"), here ("depressing piece of self-loathing claptrap"), here ("Is it possible the article is some kind of bizarre performance piece ... ?"), here ("why on earth would the WaPo publish it on page B01?"), here ("this just might be the dumbest thing ever written"), here ("The editor responsible for that drivel has shown just remarkably poor editorial judgment here"), here ("being able to occupy a niche like this makes you a better troll"*), here ("Rarely have I read a newspaper column that shocks me for its sheer breadth of nonsense"), here ("if you’re so dim, how about leaving the big-shot publishing gigs to people who are capable of serious thought?"), here ("Charlotte Allen is stupid" ), here ("I have read many stupid things in my life. But I believe written by Charlotte Allen and published by the Washington Post is literally the fucking stupidest"), here ("There’s so much that’s bad about this article I can’t even begin to quote it all"), etc. etc. (link).

But cf. here ("one of the top pieces on the Post's normally policy-wonkish list of most-viewed articles").
