    "Complicit in the Big Machine"

    Posted Wednesday, October 22, 2008 5:09 PM | By Noreen Malone
    OK, I'm not saying that if the powers-that-be at Slate told me I had to purchase $150,000 worth of clothes for my job I wouldn't love every second of spending it. (And sure, maybe it's a more appropriate spree for someone who spends her day in front of television cameras rather than a computer screen.) And Ellen, you're totally right that she's only "complicit in the big machine that this is all a part of." But I guess if I were really big on cutting all the wasteful spending at Slate, and really shaking up the old way of doing things around here with all my maverick stances, I might think about saying thanks but no thanks to the check.
