more signs of the continuing decline of civilization as we know it

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE's daily news summary:
> Under the Gun: This ... writer admits she's never heard of apparently
very famous outdoorsman Jim Zumbo, but was fascinated by the A3 story
in the Washington Post about the spectacular and sudden collapse of
his career after he spoke out against the use of military-style
assault rifles — terrorist rifles is what he made the mistake of
calling them — by hunters. Zumbo's top-rated cable TV show, his
longtime career with Outdoor Life magazine, and his corporate ties to
big gun makers, including Remington Arms, have been terminated or are
in serious jeopardy. Memo to self: Do not mess with the NRA.

> And finally: Beyond Tupperware: The New York Times reports (and
includes a slide show) on a new trend in American suburbia: at-home
pole-dancing parties for middle-aged women.<
