Great Moments in Journalism: Robert Thomson Rides the Short Bus

Know what today is, kids? It's the opening day for Chuck Klosterman's favorite film! In honor of that momentous occasion, we've got a special piece. It's ostensibly about buses, but you can't argue with the way it draws you in:

News to us.
