A national talkshow caller claiming to be a journalist on a major paper said that management surmises the problem is their paper's writings are just too darn intellectual for today's typical American.

The solution? Shorter articles and simpler words and grammar. Problem solved. It's the dummies out there!

If they hadn't been so busy shilling for the National Education Association and their social engineering educational programs all these years they might have some readers smart enough to understand their writings.

I would have asked that caller: "Ever hear of USA Today?"
