I was doing my morning penance, sweating out impurities and finishing up Sideways, the novel (not bad, by the way), when I glanced up at one of the TV screens. The local newscast was doing a piece on Murdoch buying Dow Jones, and because the sound was off, it had that teletext spelling itself out at the bottom of the screen. At some point, the text stopped and one word appeared in the left hand corner: "Sinner." It stayed there for about ten seconds before the words spilled again on the page with the first word of the next sentence being "synergize." Inquiring minds want to know: coincidence or intent?
