Slate has really gone downhill. One can see pretty clearly why Prudie/Margo left. I am just glad that the real Prudie is dead, or the poor fellow would be spinning in his grave.

BTW, has everyone read the original Prudie's columns--they are an absolute hoot! The comparison makes it very clear that Yoffe is just a hack writer with a chip on her shoulder, trying to prove that she is a "real journalist" or whatever the heck she's trying to prove.

Please--Yoffe is an idiot. Please pull the plug. Please!

Thanks!

I started reading Slate when Margo Howard was Dear Prudence (she still gives good advice, but she was much more entertaining as Prudence). I never realized there was an earlier Prudence, and earlier columns. I've just read a couple, and they are indeed wonderful. Sigh...
