they're teaching kids poor journalism already! witness this article. it is hysterical. it is relentlessly upbeat. it makes an event sound like an amazing ocassion. it is about one of the worst days in my life. too long of a story. i love medill already, but that event was an effing disaster.

i did get an ethiopian dinner out of it, though. and for anyone who's worried that this blog will further devolve into me citing the ways in which chicago is superior to d.c., well, the district's tibs still hold first place by a long shot.
