So just what was the thesis of this article? There may be a function, but no real thesis. The function seems to be to attempt to say something negative and mask it (poorly) as observation. What actually happens, though, is that the article ends up flopping on the floor with a dull thud, helped along by (A) no particular point (B) weak attempt to somehow tie together a pregnant 17yr old and a costly hurricane (C) feebly bitchy remarks about Cindy McCain's clothes . . . CLOTHES (!!!) are we really talking about clothes, dear me, how sad is that?! (D) some weird comment about money and sticks and asses that seemed to wreak of the very thing it evoked.
Did you sneak this past your editor as some kind of intern's prank?
