   I had a feeling that was going it be McSweeneys before I clicked on the link.

   I love fake Hemingway! Actually, I love Hemingway, as a great exemplar of effective journalistic writing. Short, declarative sentences.

   I once served as an editor in our small local paper for a small stable of Leftie writers (none with journalism credentials) and I remember exhorting them to write like Hemingway, not Fitzgerald. Hemingway was accessible to the general public, Fitzgerald, not so much.

   Sadly, the paper has been sold to a company that owns well over a hundred small-town papers, and now our editorial content comes from ‘syndicated’ sources well beyond the boundaries of even our State. I no longer read the paper.
