Do NOT read this

But if you do read this, do NOT go to Chipotle today to get a free burrito.
But if you do go to Chipotle for a free burrito and you see me there, at least let me cut in line, ok?
Yes, God is shining down on Waco today in the form of free burritos and burrito bols (cq). I love Chipotle bols, so I think I’ll try to brave the crowd.
How do I love Chipotle? Let me count the ways … I love that I can create a semi-healthy Tex-Mex concoction by shying away from stuff like the sour cream and loading up on their fresh salsa.
Partake of the gloriousness of burritos … if you must. But remember to hold my place in line :)

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think the editing marks should make it into the publication. Specifically, the use of (cq) should not appear in the published work. It’s simply an editing/proofreading mark to let the production staff know that it’s checked/correct.
Correct use stands without having to underscore its correctness. A wrong spelling or use, on the other hand, is actually noted for the reader with the wonderfully condescending “(sic)” which is journalism’s litte way of looking down its nose at someone.
At this point, we devolve into an argument of whether blogs are really journalism and, as such, subject to its rules. I contend this is not really a blog. It’s written by someone with a journalism degree and is on a newspaper website. You’d then tell me I was sic.

Waco is a great city of “poverty”. If anything is “free” then Wacoans will line-up for blocks for the free handouts.
