Last of the real gunslingers

After 23 years of "dating," David Letterman has gotten married to a former staffer on his show and the mother of his five-year-old son, Regina Lasko. The comedian announced the nuptials this afternoon during a taping of his late-night program. Letterman and Lasko were reportedly wed on Thursday near their vacation home in Montana.

During the taping, Letterman said that he had "secretly felt (for years) that men who were married admired me-- like the last of the real gunslingers." But what about all of the perpetually adolescent single men? We've come to depend upon Dave being single. He's had the freedom to flirt on the air, on our behalf, with any starlet he chooses. This is going to require some adjustment on my part-- TV viewing adjustment, but not lifestyle adjustment.

The most informative and important report you'll read online or in print this year... may be this one by Matt Taibbi on the global economic crisis-- even though it gets second billing to the story about Letterman.
