Ah, that's why The Nation sucks so

How can a weekly opinion journal suck so as badly so consistently as The Nation does?



We've puzzled over that especially since it decided to censor "dozens" of photos of abuse in Iraq the magazine stated they have.



Then, last week, the answer came. Eric Morrison's "Celebrities Attend Anti-War Rally . . . visit by editor, politicians" (Juneau Empire) set us straight. The celebrities listed? A mayor (Rocky Anderson), an activist (Ralph Nader) and the "editor" (and publisher) Katrina vanden Heuvel.



Granted, most celebrities have heard of [censored by C.I.], but learning that vanden Heuvel fancies herself a celebrity cleared a great deal up.



We look forward to interviews with her chef and her trainer and wardrobe credits running in the magazine. And to the magazine's title changing to K.



At last, the riddle is answered.
