Once again, people came from miles around to tell us that they don’t read the L.A. Times because of Jonah Goldberg. Once again, they all stopped to read Jonah’s column while they were at it, making him the week’s top reader draw. A respectable second went to David Fleming and Jim Gray’s philippic against the war on drugs. And Joel Stein showed with a late-week surge for his column on high gas prices. In a curtain call for their previous week’s Dust-Up, John Stagliano and Barry McDonald led the rest. Here are all the winners, and as always, thank you for reading:
