Weingarten's leaving the Post? No!!
He's going to do once a month chats (vs. every Tuesday) and then his regular column, but no long features and no Gene Pool. It's pretty depressing.
Man, that sucks about Weingarten.
Man, that sucks about Weingarten.
Agreed about Weingarten.
I guess this means Ed won't be ringing my doorbell to tell me I won $10,000,000! from American Family Publishing.
So how long before the Post begins to resemble a high school newspaper? Everyone with half a brain has taken the buyout, and the last person who knows the difference between there/their/they're is threatening to leave.
They're?
awesome to hear that the clear service went belly up. if we're going to have ridiculous, nearly pointless "security theatre" at the airports, then everyone should be forced to enjoy its ridiculousness.
