The Daily Mole thinks Star Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten needs professional help.

So editor Steve Perry first ran a recent Kersten column through Juicy Studios’ readability tester (her writing was judged to be on a sixth-grade reading level) and then sent it to a high school English teacher in Alaska, asking her  to “assign a letter grade to it, and write a summary feedback paragraph.” Said teacher wasn’t told Kersten is a professional writer, nor does she have knowledge of the columnist’s work. Her critique begins, “Your sentence structure is fine, your paragraphing works, but your argument, frankly, reeks of oversimplified blather.”
