Lite Reading in the Sunday NYT
Men are spending an enormous amount of time dressing their avatars.
Married women have too much time on their hands - they write really boring messages to their husbands and then waste the space of the Modern Love column sharing the deets of their broken foot misery with the rest of humanity.
Love doesn't last for most people longer than 3 years. Seriously folks, who needs love? It's summer - bring on the flings! Buy me a drink and I'll tell you my new mantra, which I learned from a wise woman.
Ride the Pony sounds like it's related to the above article. Actually, it's a children's game. And they must have made kids a lot skinnier back in the '50s when it was popular. More on the demise of street games in NY in this random article - I was so fascinated that someone could write this many words on this inane topic, that I read every word of it.
The Travel Section this weekend blows. I think the good writers are busy traveling. I was amused by the call out in this section to a new, luxury class flight available from NYC to Mumbai. Amused b/c the same flight - with the same photo - paid for a full page color ad in the front section. That line between advertising and reporting just got a little blurrier.
Those crazy Mass residents are still trying to make their for-profit healthcare for all work. No one - or at least no one the reporter spoke with - mentioned that a system built on the premise that someone should legally profit from someone else's ill health is morally wrong and a violation of a basic human right. But who cares what the American Public Health Association thinks? That "most liberal of states" figured out a way to get the volunteer activists in bed with the corporate hacks.
Racial tensions still abound in Atlanta. If you need proof, go read about Br'er Rabbit.
