Anna, although some overstuffed readers might say your reporting here is like a bland and undigestable concoction of stir fried vegetables, I for one think your article indeed had a lot of meat to it, and you used your sharp, ginsu knife like wit to trim all the unneccessary fat, leaving a succulent and veritifiable Read more

I'm salivating with hunger for more sweet and juicy information about this mixed recipe of a story. Read more

My favorite way to be condescended to, Anna, is when people use your name a lot when they condescend to you. Read more

Holy god, that was the most canned, rehearsed-sounding speech I've heard in a long while. The tone and cadence were pure Sally Struthers PSA.
