    Dick died doing what he loved -- not being that Dick.

    Can you possibly put "not that one" in parentheses in the subject head?

    I don't think that's too much to ask.

    Slate's web hits would have taken a beating.

    What's funny - and I've stated this before - is that I go weeks and weeks without reading Slate. I used to pretty regularly listen to a couple of their podcasts. The political one is excellent.

    I think I end up starting threads on their stories because:

    1. They aggressively promote them on social media;
    2. The premise is typically a contrarian assertion meant to stir these kinds of debates.

    The female on the Slate Political Gabfest has the most annoying voice I have ever heard.
