Long time no see, Pretzels.
In today's segment of Rants Against the Times, I bring you this: a story of a high school student council election. At a very expensive school. This is what young journalists today can aspire to. The article tries to frame it as something more than that, but the students speak for themselves:
"Ms. Peale said that she had been Mr. Williams' campaign manager — until he chose to run with Mr. Perkins. "He picked a boy and I got mad, so I decided to run myself," she said. "Junius picked Clark because he thought he would appeal most to girls who think he's cute, and to jocks."
Mr. Perkins took offense at this suggestion, saying that he and Mr. Williams ran together based on their previous student council experience and leadership qualities. -- NYT"
