WP Has Run Out of News

The Washington Post today has published the following image and caption covering about one-quarter of a page in the style section, in an article that purports to be about voter anxiety as the election draws near. I can only conclude that the paper has run out of real news, since otherwise I would be forced to consider the possibility that the editors have no news sense or no concern with using their limited space to more fully inform their readers (which presumably include the political leaders of the world's most economically and militarily powerful nation) about the critical events taking place in the economic crisis, the two ongoing wars, the war on terrorism, or the other 200+ nations of the world. It is of course a very nice picture of a pretty girl! JAD

War, economic meltdown, climate change, health care, all reported on a 24-hour news cycle. Anxiety has mounted for citizens like Washington's Rachel Ament, shown in her apartment. (By Ricky Carioti -- The Washington Post)
