Not long ago, Kelly linked to a great, great story in the Washington Post in which its author searched for the worst place in America. (The official title of Armpit of America was at stake.) He settled on Battle Mountain, Nevada, which sounds downright awful. (The author tries to make it salvage something good about the place at the end of the piece, but it doesn’t convince this reader, at least.)
Anyway, one of the people quoted in the story, the local newspaper editor, has evidently been fired for saying the Armpit of America title “sounds about right” for Battle Mountain. Sheesh.
