new style?

okay I'll be posting links to stories from the local daily that get my teeth grinding for hopefully obvious reasons.

First are rectangles squares? The whole premise is so maddeningly dumbening that we are all stupider for having read the lead. Epithets will always be slang, epithets are crude street language...slang! I understand that it is hard to write a deep piece about social values and the intersections of political consensus and teenage behavior, but cracker please this is totally half assed.

Next up we have the cause celeb for the local good germans, check out the reader comments "shut up...obey" is my personal favorite. Too bad the reporter lacks the ability to refer to the bill of rights and settled case law.

Mississippi circa 1950 anyone? Here the Press Democrat utterly fails to mention that this is what happens when a medical system is motivated by profit or charity, instead of basic human rights. I guess examining fundamental motives has to be left to high school drop out, drug addict, loud mouths.

And finally Jesus doesn't love you any more. 'Nuff said.

non-sequitur: did everyone catch the Stan Lee cameo in Heroes on Monday?
