Locally-Based Restaurant Chain Does Nothing Significant

Until well after a new pope is elected, the media have to keep the story alive, and at the moment, apparently there aren’t many angles left to cover. Admittedly, I always thought this particular bit of kitsch was amusing, but my God [irony noted], this crap is NOT newsworthy, much less does it deserve to be the Strib’s number two web headline (as of 3:00 pm). I’d find it simply amusing, were this pathetic story not a chilling reminder of a sadly growing trend of such nonsense that is causing my respect for my beloved local Leftist Daily to rapidly dwindle. Or was I a fool for ever trusting it in the first place? I’ll just have to wait a few days until their next petty squabble with the smarmy one-trick chimps at Powerline. That perhaps will alleviate my concerns for a time.
