Why I'm perfectly comfortable with letting John...

Transcription of a voicemail from Meredith,...
Meredith: Hellllllloooo! Happy Mardi Gras! It's a state holiday. In Louisiana, so happy Mardi Gras! Expose your breasts. Not that anyone will know what they are (cackles). Just kidding. You should still expose them. Okay. Well. Call me back. I'm drunk. And I love you. Bye!

– Chuck Klosterman. Most of you haven’t been following the John Friend/Anusara scandal (“scandal”), and I won’t bore you with the details, but essentially what we have is a case of someone being found out to be human. The most serious allegation against him, in my...
