Makes me want to dig out my old Heavens to Betsy tape and throw it at Pinch’s head

Dear newspaper of record,
1. How about next time there is a two-page researched story about the First Lady and her impact on the nation, it goes in the politics section, not the fashion and style section? Also how about it is something she said or did, not something that is affixed to her body?
2. How about next time there is a two-page story about successful screenwriters who are women it goes in the arts section, not the fashion and style section? Did you know there is a whole arts section subcategory for movies? It is right there in the header! MOVIES. Stories about people who write movies might fit nicely there, no?
2a., related. ENOUGH WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF WOMEN WRITERS LYING DOWN OR IN BED. ENOUGH. Either knock it off or start running photos of Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman and Judd Apatow cuddled up in bed, the covers in disarray, surrounded by fluffy pillows. (Now that I think about it, how adorable would that be?)
Didn’t you know that reading the Styles section actually shrinks your brain? The book review section shrinks your heart. Even though someone in the house insists on reading Styles, I like to use it to keep hair out of the cracks in the floor during home haircuts.
Uh-oh–TREND PIECE!
