Best ad tag of the day, or more like it, ever: "Nobody looks HOT in a cold sore. Think fast. Think abreva."
Excerpted from http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/media/media.html:
That's a question for KidsPost editor Tracy Grant, who convened last week's skull session and is working on Post teen appeal. "This is not a groundswell, not an initiative, not anything except a vague itch that I'm pursuing and scratching," says Grant.
Eek.

Note the NO WRITING bit. Much to my surprise, this rep at a temp agency I registered w/ the other day explained to me that sometimes editor-seeking companies are very much NOT interested in candidates w/ a professed writing background. Apparently they realize that writing kicks editing's ass any day and that any writer-editor who takes an editing gig is only fooling themselves and that it won't be long before they see this and that when that moment comes--they'll leave. To write.
Toooooouche.
