Verbal extremism in defense of civil liberties is no vice
posted by Jennifer Abel at 9:41 AM
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

Can I get fries with that? ;-)
Fry away, Smartass! Turns out this was my last column; since I'm primarily the "arts" writer my boss wanted me to write "arts" columns, but I have nothing to say about art that I don't already say in whatever articles I write about the local scene.
I am working today, since it's my turn on the Saturday rotation; afterwards, my lazy procrastinating ass really needs to round up all the columns I've done and put them on my clipfile blog.
Turns out this was my last column;
The last one? No more editorials? Aw hell, that's a revolting development. But you should keep writing opinion pieces, even if you have to post them only on your blog. It wouldn't do to get out of practice. And rest assured - they are read here.

Yeah, working Saturday sucks, but that's better than working on tax returns all weekend. (Yours isn't the only procrastinating ass.) :-)
