Also: Why is the sky blue?

Can someone please explain to me why Lee Bandy, who is nominally retired according to his own byline, is still filing columns that do not have even one scintilla of news in them?

I mean, I understand if you write meaning columns when you're under deadline—hey, we all have to mail it in sometimes—but why now, when you have nothing to say and no editor breathing down your neck?

Saying nothing is actually an improvement on the lies, petty and grand, I read day after day in The State every day.
