This paragraph is intended for Martians

CURRENT EVENTS
Wire services serve one and all. From the umpteen-deals-a-second bond trader to the Joe Nobody reading the hardly-any-original-content Nowhere Times to the Martians. I love the paragraphs intended for Martians. Here is my most recent favorite, discovered in an article on the fallout from a poorly planned photo op by the Obama administration that involved a backup Air Force One and a fighter jet screaming low past the Empire State Building (the lede, by the way, noted that the stunt "reminded startled New Yorkers of the September 11 attacks"):

New Yorkers remain sensitive to any incident evocative of the 2001 attacks, which involved hijacked airliners that destroyed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
