I want to issue a blanket apology

[conuly]

This is not my fault, but I still feel bad: if all the links lately are depressing, that's because everything sucks. There's, like, no good news to be had anywhere. I'm gonna issue a formal complaint to the management as soon as I find their mailing address.

It may not be - but eligibility for "Miss America" is still drawn from the "Miss [State]" winners, which still have evening gown and swimsuit contests. It's likely those will change to better match the Miss America rules, but not until they're more stable. And the rules for next year aren't adjustable at this point.
