Believe it or not, we want the Orange County Register to be healthy, to put out a good product. We wish it all the success in the world save for beating us on a story.

So, Register: please, por favor, please work on your website. It takes forever to load, frequently misplaces Frank Mickadeit's column, and did we already say it takes too damn long to load?! It took an entire MINUTE to load your home page, a home page I had visited dozens of time today and thus accepted all of your cookies and other spyware. Fix it! And while you're at it, give your photographer Daniel Anderson a raise--brother's been working the flash like Henri Cartier-Bresson tonight.
