Au contrarian

Really, this is what it has come down to at Slate?


What is next, "Pumpkins, they are ruining Halloween!" or "The flag, stripes make our country look fat!"

Oh, I've got one. "Constant contrariness is ruining everything! I mean it's why SLATE exists!"

This tweet is right!

The biggest surprise to me is that Slate is still being published. I hadn't thought about that site in a year.

damn you Attaturk for linking to that because I just read it. It's a classic example of a "Human Interest" "OMG I have a deadline in 6 hours what the fuck am I going to write about". She probably wandered by one of the displays at the supermarket where they have their summer displays and thought "S'mores - I can write about that. Thank God!"
