"What You Can Find At The Bottom Of A Bottle"

Today, the New York Times conducts an intrepid expedition into the world of poor people, following every subway line to its end, out in the sticks. Such a nakedly elitist article would not be possible in any other city, but luckily this is New York, and poor people all read the Post, so they're fair game. They're so poor, the reporter discovers in the second paragraph, that they use generic Windex. The rest of the article, unsurprisingly, is in the same vein.

Future articles I hope to see from the New York Times:

  • Does Anybody Actually Live In Yonkers?
  • New Haven: End of MetroNorth -- End of the World
  • New Jersey: No Thanks
  • The View From My Office Window
  • None Of My Friends Come From The Deep South
  • The Bronx is Scary

"Yonkers" used to be an interjection.
