    Did anyone else notice how bad the copyediting was in this issue? Especially in that McLean Goldman piece that was awful to begin with...

    Oh! Hey! Gawker! Call on me! Vanity Fair's circulation back office is in Boone, Iowa, which was buried under a blizzard yesterday. No one went to work yesterday, and only a handful did today. (I earned 15 community college credits in Boone in the late 90s and never, ever, ever thought Boone would make Gawker. It's Mamie Doud Eisenhower's birthplace, you know!)

    Maybe the glare from Meryl's forehead focused for an instant on one of their auxiliary propane storage cannisters, causing a devastating explosion that ripped one whole side off of the building!
