From the Prologue:
This week’s volume of the WEeding Awards shows us that people on both sides of the political aisle can express diametrically opposed views while committing the same mistake.
First, it highlights WEeds by two commentators who are for — and by a Democratic presidential candidate who is against — the Iraq war. (”What’s wrong with weeds?“)
Then it pokes gentle fun at a group of editors for using WEeds to take responsibility for defeating the Nazis and the Soviets, and at a Canadian for speaking in the first-person plural about Americans’ activities.
And finally, it ribs a magazine bureau chief for seeming to think he knows what he doesn’t, and a noted journalist for thinking he doesn’t think what he thinks.
There’s nothing more fun than a new volume of the WEeding Awards, so read away!
