Slate's Persistent Mediocrity

There's a headline on Slate right now, "Let Them Eat Shiitake." The sub-headline is "Banning fast food in poor neighborhoods." This seems to be an attempt to make a pun out of the famous line, "Let them eat cake."

The only problem is that shiitake doesn't rhyme with cake, the implication being that Slate is idiotic. It really really makes me want to hear a Slate writer ordering a shiitake dish at a restaurant.
