Journal damn_registrars's Journal: The Samzenpus Failure Machine Rides Again! 8
The article that this links to has nothing to do with wasting food. The point of the Seattle City Council's action is to get people to compost. You can throw as much food as you want in the compost, that is just fine. This goes with their earlier ordinances to encourage recycling, they are just trying to reduce the amount of material that is disposed of as "regular" trash.
This is in response to the atrociously miswritten Seattle Passes Laws To Keep Residents From Wasting Food. Even the worst editors on slashdot usually read at least a little ways in to an article before attempting to summarize it. However, once in a while samzenpus is so engrossed in beating off to fox news that he allows this kind of garbage to slip right in.
Well done, samzenpus. You showed us that just when we thought the front page crap here couldn't get any worse, you can still one up the crappiness. For those with short memories, I will remind us that he also posted these awful gems: NBC apologizes for editing Zimmerman 911 call
school sends child's lunch home after determining it unhealthy
Tesla will discontinue the Roadster
... and the cherry on the turd sundae:
California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars
I know I've missed plenty of great samzenpus failures along the way, but these are just some highlights. Really, why the fuck is this idiot an editor? I know some people who work for google, I'm sure they have a decent algorithm that could replace him.

so you're asking for a meta-moderation system to moderate editors?
No, I'm asking for editors who actually read what they post, rather than just hacks that push through any garbage that fits their philosophical view of the universe.
Besides, we don't have a working meta-moderation system yet. Why would I want it to be applied to the editors when it doesn't work with moderations on comments? The closest we have to moderating the editors is the firehose [slashdot.org], but it doesn't work that well either, and it often ends up functioning more like a conservative version of digg.
What NBC... (Score:2)
...or their local affiliate, did to the Zimmerman (not a 911) call was every bit as dishonest and misleading as what the media did with the "Dean Scream".

That is debatable at the very least (although it would help if I knew for sure which call you were talking about). Regardless, the difference is between bringing attention to someone who chased down and killed an unarmed kid versus destroying the career of a politician simply because he was enthusiastic to be campaigning.
Being as the person who killed someone got off scot-free while the politician saw his entire career go up in smoke, you can't say that the after effects were in any way comparable ei
