So That's How It's Done

It has been a mystery to me that McCain represents Arizona in Congress, despite his never having lived there -- in the real, not technical, sense. Owning property does not a citizen make, says I. But, thanks to this tabloid story from the UK's Daily Mail, I know now that you just have to be banging someone from Arizona and you are qualified to run for Congress there. People out west sure are retarded. And promiscuous. And rich. And retarded. Did I say retarded already?

One wonders why, if a fucking rag like the Daily Mail can write a simple, straightforward piece about McCain's outrageous and tacky affair, one single American newspaper can't do it. Just what do reporters write about these days, anyway? Do people read newspapers for the topic sentences and then just give up, because there is no content thereafter? Is it that goddamn hard to write a coherent narrative, you journalism bozos?

Speaking of coherent narratives (and for better ideas to plagiarize), think about joining GoodReads.
