When I want a healthy dose of arrested psychological development I know to head over to the New York Sun, or at least the oped page (no slight to the several highly sane and well-adjusted reporters). So that's what I did when one of my colleagues here at TPM passed on today's editorial. If I'm not mistaken, the editors are hinting that Matt Yglesias and I, two Jews, are peddling some sort of subtle anti-semitism. As they might say, go figure.

Later in the editorial the Sunies vamp about New York City, which, if I'm understanding this correctly, they now appear to own. Praising the city for all its marvels, they gush, "As an entryway for immigration, as Ground Zero in the world war, as an engine of economic growth and trade, as a venue of school reform, and as a capital of commerce, culture, and religion, New York has more than its share to offer in the coming election year. Ethnic paranoia, indeed."

Ground zero in the world war. Ethnic paranoia? And so many other varieties.
