The paper keeps getting thinner but today the Korean Extortionist hit me up for $4.20. The brain trust on Front Street is seriously infatuated with all things 420.
And not only does the paper keep getting thinner; what's left is less and less the product of staff writers. Instead, we get more and more freelancers. When that's an erudite writer and experienced news guy like David Shribman, it's somewhat tolerable.
When it's a hysterical know-nothing, obviously flogging their own brand, like Sarah Kendzior, I think my Korean friend owes me at least a partial refund.
And like her or not, Maggie Wente filed her last column last Saturday.
ReplyDeleteAre you calling Maggie a know-nothing?
ReplyDeleteMaggie once caught a glimpse, as a child, of some guys in work clothes in her dad's sheet-metal shop, so she knows every thing there is to know about the working class!
