Snark is "a strain of nasty, knowing abuse spreading like pinkeye through the national conversation." What's snark? What's wit? Who's a snarker, who's not? Spy magazine is snark? The Daily Show is not? Come hear the journalist who calls NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd "the most talented writer of snark in the country."
