@EdCates @GottaLaff @StephaneHuart running my college paper I had a writer who aspired to go to journalism school.

Their serious articles sounded like satire, and their attempts to write for our satire section sounded like incredibly boring serious articles.

I never followed up to see how their career unfolded but your gag just reminded me of that experience.

@StephaneHuart @GottaLaff I just learned that the sandy Hook families will get shares in the new company so they will share in its success. I’m signing up as soon as it launches

@StephaneHuart @GottaLaff I think we have an answer, and the answer is, "No, they won't."

@StephaneHuart @GottaLaff Except that now it will be funny. Maybe that's enough?
