I'm a little dismayed at the humorlessness of many responses here. I need to laugh amid the bad news--I can't eat oatmeal all day, no matter how good it is for me. According to the formidable standards of some readers, you'd better get rid of that trivial King Kaufman. A sports column? With the world in such turmoil? Besides, you're ghetto-izing men!
Actually, I propose a much better alternative. Start a men's blog, too. Maybe you can call it Talk o' Fellas (sorry). Then we can hear about their catfights--or maybe the better term is dogfights. (You think that only women bicker and snarl over silly things? Ah, the innocence... )
Look--I really appreciate the serious news on Salon. I don't see that being phased out till the fascists declare martial law, so I think we're OK for now. But... variety, people. There's nothing wrong with a little intelligently snarky humor along with the tough stuff. If that's all you want, please go read all the good stuff on the home page today and just ignore Broadsheet.
(Oh, and thanks, designers, for toning down the pink.)
