Kathy - my local clinic doesn't take that HMO.
Darn it! I'm surprised they don't take the Blue Cross HMO--you would think that would be a rather prominent one.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is totally not a piece about Chris Evans. It's an I'm-a-lucky-bitch-amirite? piece. Is that typical of GQ?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's the kind of piece I usually haaaate, where it's supposed to be about the subject but ends up being mostly about the writer, but I really like Edith! So I'm conflicted.

Well, Chris touched her knee and kissed her knuckles, so I think it's fair to hate her. But I read four pages, and I know blessedly little more about his high hotness, and that's disappointing.

Because books.
I think pieces like that work if it's a regular feature, where readers are really interested in reading "the adventures of Edith". But as a single piece, it's so much more about her than him, it's really off-putting. And bad journalism, according to the old rules.

I saw that article the other day, and thought it was skin-crawlingly awful even for celebrity "journalism." I have no idea if it's typical for GQ, but this suggests it's not unique: [link]
There's no way I'd read a competent interview with Chris Evans, because I don't care. But I looked at that because people were discussing it. So GQ got more attention by publishing something terrible, and I am part of the problem. Damn me.

Well, it's not at all journalism, is one thing.

Kathy - that was the problem with the HMO choices that the state picked: people outside of the Chicago area were not served by those choices.
