Mistake of the month:

That's appended to the end of Christian Rudder's Slate story "The United States of Reddit." The piece is pretty interesting in itself, but it can't compete with the correction.

    I mean, if nothing else it will help me decide whether to try and crowdfund a gay porno about flag burning.
    
    But what to call it?

  The possible overlap intrigued me as well.

I'll bet "look at all those closeted rednecks" went down much better with the Salon readership.
1. Heroic Mulatto 12 years ago
  
  It's exactly the catty bullshit you'd expect the Salon editors to do and then "apologize" for.

  It's Slate.

OT: Eric Liu continues to be an insufferable prick.

  A child was killed Friday because that child went to school.
  
  Then stop sending your kids to school.

    Clearly schools kill children. Time to ban schools...for the children.

    Damn your sticky quick fingers!
    1. SugarFree 12 years ago
      
      They are sticky because I simply care too much.
      1. Rich 12 years ago
        
        Take care.
2. Rich 12 years ago
  
  A child was killed Friday because that child went to school had parents who didn't give a shit.
  
  "Corrected" Liu's opening line.

They don't really know where gay porn is downloaded, do they? I'm asking for a friend.
1. Idle Hands 12 years ago
  
  They are all powerful and are simultaneously everywhere and nowhere. Of course they do don't.
