We can't help but feel a little lonely down here in New York today. What with 15,000 journalists (and some "journalists") up in Boston, there's a decided sense of lack down here. (Not to mention insanity — the entire Democratic Convention could be handled in one easy email: "We're nominating Kerry and Edwards. Okay, see you later!") With all our journalists gone, who will write the articles about the hairdos of Manhattan? Who will type up reports on how many people alleged "It" boy Fabian Basabe had sex with at Calvin Klein's party? We have NEWS to cover down here!

And who will handle that crucial meta-story about how many journalists are covering the media-circus up in Boston? Ah, right: get David Carr to do that.
