(Ironing) Bored with the Strib

I have to finish this so I can make the hubby a nice dinner

Probing every day for a new low in journalism, the Strib doesn’t let us down today.

One of my female colleagues brought this to my attention. Right before she vowed to call and cancel her subscription.

I never look at the life style section. This is why. Imagine you are a female reader and you run across this sentence: “Whether you’re tired of paying dry-cleaning bills or just want to impress your future mother-in-law, it makes sense to learn how to iron a shirt.”

Unfortunately, I never met my mother-in-law, but I can certainly tell from the way that she raised her daughter that ironing technique was not high on her list of qualifications to be permitted to marry into the family.

Irony, yes. Ironing, only if you have to.

One thing an iron would be good for, though, is cracking some editor at the Strib over the head. I don’t normally advocate violence, but in this case, I’d make an exception.
