Stop the Presses: We Think We Agree with Howie Carr

There's a first time for everything, and yesterday marked the first time we didn't have an aneurysm or punch somebody after reading a Howie Carr column. In fact, we think he might be right. Inconceivable! Carr's column used trademark Herald cleverness in branding email as "see" mail, stressing the fact that others can "see" what you write, even if it's incriminating. He cited Phil Markoff and Sal DiMasi as examples of this phenomenon, most recently illustrated by incompetent South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. Anyway, the column degenerates into rambling about Whitey Bulger at the end, but not before making the important point that "emails are writing." Pulitzer! Pulitzer!
