I visited Salon.com at work today, as I tend to do about once a month. It’s a force of habit, I guess, and I need to do something to unwind sometimes. As usual, I was disappointed. It\u2019s mostly a rag now. The Salon of today is a parody of itself as it was during it\u2019s nineties glory years. Hell, the Salon of today almost makes one pine for the unspeakable \u201cVideo Dog\u201d era.<\/p>\n

I did get something out my brief visit, though- a good, hearty laugh. I saw one of the unintentionally funniest things I\u2019ve ever seen in my life.<\/p>\n

There, on the front page, was a headline: \u201cMichael Dunn and Open Season on Black Teenagers: The Onslaught of White Murder\u201d. <\/p>\n

God, I could barely contain myself! I nearly fell out of my chair trying to restrain my muffled chuckling.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t read the article. There was no need, of course. But I\u2019m grateful that I saw the headline when I could.<\/p>\n

After I recovered, I reflected. Is Salon just trolling everybody these days? I mean\u2026 they can\u2019t be serious, right?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know for sure, but I do know that the pure, undistilled crazy of a modern Salon or Huffington Post can really enliven a boring work day. <\/p>\n

Thanks for the laughs, guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
