    For God's sake, VF. Stop with the dead Kennedys. There really are other things I'll read about.

    I think VF inadvertently screwed itself. Next month may very well be a Dominique Dunn/Ted Kennedy double tribute cover! So that's three months of dead people, and no naked starlets. Well, Farrah was nude, but she was dead, so that takes away the salaciousness of it.

    Seriously, VF. I know you love the Kennedys, but Ted dying would be at least somewhat more interesting than "Jackie was sad, whaddya know?" Not that they had Ted dying on their calendar, though. Just happened right before their new Jackie issue comes out.

    I have thought far too much about this, and must now nap and feel ashamed.

    Like everything else I once loved, seems that Vanity Fair is now groveling to people's most salacious and lowest "common" denominator-type behavior. That cover photo of Jackie is lousy, and an article written by "baby daddy" Levi is pandering at the very least.

    Just seems so insulting that Vanity Fair would stoop so low as to give us "Levi" when so many other aspiring writers would "kill" to grace their pages. Must everything be dictated by the marketing manager's whims based on little blips on society's collective radar?

    Used to be that VF was a great read and had some really interesting points and people within. Guess they too must be desperate for content, ad pages and newsstand purchaser's.
    The loss of Dominick Dunne has surely dealt them a big blow.

    You know how "things" were made with quality before the "Made In China" label started appearing on virtually everything? Well, looks like Vanity Fair has gone that route and crapped up their product in order to maybe get some extra sales by tapping in to people's morbid curiosity.

    It's a cheap trick and I ain't fooled!!

    Levi TRIED to read the article but gave-up after the first non-monosyllabic word.

    What he said:
    "I tole that stupid bitch I ain't gonna wear no fucking condom so she just like rolled her eyes and said whatever, just do it."

    VF redaction:
    "Of course I wore a condom--what kind of idiot would intentionally impregnate the daughter of the governor of Alaska!?!"

    I think it's time J-school graduates nationwide stage a flash primal scream. How's 4:00 EST today for the rest of you? Simply open the nearest window and screech for 15 to 30 seconds when the clock strikes the hour.

    Then hit happy hour...early.

    I thought my original title, "Sarah Palin and I," was good grammars. Like that musical, the King and I. That Andy Cohen made me watch. While he was blowing me. But for some reason the editors done changed it.

    I can't wait for more of this kind of cutting-edge, timely journalism from Vanity Fair, including such scintillating features as "Catherine the Great: Her Hidden Pain" and "Genghis Khan: Misunderstood Humanitarian?"

    Idiocracy lives. Real investigative journalists can't find work, but Levi Johnston, who surprises himself whenever he has a sentence longer than 3 words, gets a paying VF gig.

    I love that they chose 3rd-grade-level grammar for the cover line. Is this supposed to make him look as dumb as he is, or to convince us that he actually wrote it?
