When Things Go Wrong

This is probably one of the worst articles I have ever read. A lady goes on for five paragraphs talking about how her horse got a cut and now is ok. The author is the owner of the horse and has an obvious obsession with it. She talks about how one day the horse came to the stall with a cut and they brought it to the vet. The vet gave it stitches and today the horse is fine. I’m glad that this ladies horse was ok, but I don’t think this is something appropriate to be published in the New York Times. The author had obviously not done much writing before this article.

Wow! I didn't know I could get a job writing about my pets. How could the New York Times let something like this be published. It seems like this would kind of be an embarassment to them personally. Perhaps I will be like this woman and write about my dog. She has actually been losing her sight and is becoming quiet old. I don't know if I can get as many paragraphs out of it as this writer did, but its worth a try!
OH, I read that story too! It was horrible. I kept waiting on the point of this article, but there wasn't one. I don't even know why it was in the paper.
