To the IC:
A few things here. I have retouched parts of "Burgie," which is attached again. It's excellent. You should read it. Get a little positivity going here.There's also yet another op-ed I could not sell, which was written today, on drunk driving. And there's also a 2300 word piece on Paul McCartney for The Daily Beast. Remember the "Stairway to Heaven" op-ed? XXX at XXX was kind enough to tell me it sucked and had no point, like most of what I write. (Their words.) Awesome to deal with. A full year of this now with them. Though usually they're worse.
You want to have some fun? Compare the quality of my McCartney piece to this slop by King Bigot:
