...I have decided to say goodbye to the world of professional journalism. There is simply no money to be made in the profession at the local level and pride in profession does not put food on the table or Harley Davidson Sportsters in the garage. Therefore, I have turned down the managing editor's position that was offered to me last week and instead have decided to re-enter the raw world of shameless capitalism.
Returning to my roots as they say, bringing visual entertainment to the world through the wonder of modern satellite technology. Just think, every time I go to work I will get to bring some rudderless soul the chance to pipe FoxNews directly into their home.
I feel pretty good about the decision really. The stress that comes along with managing a reporting staff and attending all of the various meetings and schmoozing weren't really for me anyway. I have much more fun in the blogosphere where I can say "shit" if I want to, and don't have to worry if I am offending a sensitive audience with political opinions that are "too strong."
I expect too jump a couple of tax brackets in the next year as well and hope to add a little pleasure to the otherwise drab life of raising nearly a basketball team's worth of kids on money meant only for one.
That is my big news-flash of the day folks. I'm trading in my poison pen and biting wit for a compression crimper and a hopefully obscene paycheck. So, who's looking for a deal on satellite TV?
