hahahaha! And this was one of my favorite paragraphs from before. It's in your book, too, right?
Whats really stupid is characterizing a newspaper as doing something for a living. Does The New York Times bring his paycheck home to his little wife every other Friday and give her a great big kiss? Are the two of them rather poor but nonetheless very much in love? In the days leading up to Christmas, did The New York Times sell his fathers pocket watch in order to buy her some tortoiseshell combs with which to arrange her luxurious head of hair, and did she meanwhile sell that same hair in order to buy a nifty chain for his now-sold pocket watch? Is it too much to ask that a Pulitzer winner learn how to parse a fucking sentence? These are all important questions, sort of.
