So far my internship with Targeted Media, in the bowels of The Springfield Republican, has been a lot of fun. I’ve written about Pioneer Valleystripclubs,alcohol taxesandpornography–oh, and a kid whofaced 60 yearsin the pen for making his own military grade explosives. But it has been an honor –nay, a privilege –to take part in the resurrection of the Arc of Judgment, where Valley newsmakers are thrown into theChasm of Jerkitude or, alternatively, Canonized as Awesome.See theoriginal postover at Local Buzz for a full-sized version.Posted inNonsense|No Comments » « Older Entries
