THOU ART A SHITTY WRITER

Re-reading yesterday's entry, something struck me about Ross McKenzie's handjob/commentary:

So how about a single word to describe John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running-mate? Sensational. If he becomes the next president, he may well look back and see this decision – this long Statue-of-Liberty pass downfield – as winning the game for him before Labor Day.

The "Statue of Liberty" play is a running play (like so or, famously, by Boise State in their improbable Fiesta Bowl win). It is decidedly not a pass. I don't fault someone for not understanding the fine points of American football, but why use metaphors without understanding them? I believe you meant "Hail Mary," Mr.

No Proofreading. Way to be a lazy hack of a writer. This is precisely why I don't use cricket metaphors.

  • I’ve come to fault editors for the shortcomings of their writers. He is a shitty writer, but if someone drew a paycheck for reviewing McKenzie’s work, then he/she/it failed at the one thing they needed to accomplish at work that day.
