Ira Glass gives the kvetching board a shout-out

We've gotten quite a few kvetches about Ira Glass since the public radio host spoke at Memorial Hall on Saturday.

Glass made a plea for students to write him in. "I'd be so proud if I made it into the kvetching board."

"It's such a genius move for a newspaper," Glass said. "Why doesn't the New York Times have that? That's why they're going out of business."

We're glad Glass likes it, but credit for the idea has to go to former Editor Joe Schwartz, who started the weekly feature a few years ago, giving aggrieved roommates, scorned lovers and the generally peeved a place to sound off.
