Much of my free time this past week, this weekend, and this upcoming week has been and will be taken up by a desperate (and no doubt futile, given my usual luck in this department) attempt to plow through the final two seasons of The Wire on DVD and TiVo in hopes that I can finish the show before the inevitable series-finale spoilers pop up unannounced in an Ain’t It Cool News RSS feed headline or an unrelated post on Matt Yglesias’s blog and ruin it for me. Now, this is not in fact the reason I haven’t blogged anything today–it’s just that nothing really tickled my fancy–but I really just wanted to use that post title.
