Mickey Kaus gets in some good if belated digs at the infamous "contact yoga" interview with Lynda Guber a couple of weeks ago in the L.A. Times' new Home section. He credits reporter Anne-Marie O'Connor, the Times staffer detailed to cover the Westside's rich, with taking some subtly snarky digs of her own, but concludes: "She's not trying hard enough!" He also links to an Ann Coulter claim that various media have quoted a mystery "everyman" named Greg Packer 100 times -- including three mentions in the New York Times.
