    That’s not bad. Better than you would get if you were a free agent.

    You don’t suppose a cartoonist might have a particular point of view about this?

    Our own “local” paper is down to just a few pages every day, while the price has 10tupled. The ONLY local news is not just written by stringers, it’s headlined and laid out by the same people who get paid (more or less) by the word. The only employees are the editor and a person to answer the phone and do the want-ads. And they’re doing that for at least two papers, probably more.

    The columnist in Boston was traded because he said something less than stellar about the Red Soxs.

    Many decades ago, Mad Magazine did a piece if nations traded people like ball players. One trade was Grace Metallious for William Shakespeare. It was pointed out that Shakespeare was dead & the other character said that America still got the better deal.

    I’d like to trade my brother for a statue.

    And I understand that in the 17th century, the fine for late return of a library book was 5 groats, one sucking pig and three pepper corns. I think things have changed in the last 400 years, but apparently not in the hallowed halls of big business. At least he knows what he’s worth in the marketplace.

    He must have been the managing editor or head of sales and marketing.

    It could have been worse; he could have been traded to the Mets.

    Ah, but the franchise owner likes that the columnist can also work out of the Op-Ed section and hits left or right.

    He’s fortunate to even be traded. Considering the bag of hoary adjectives sports writers use for describing sports play, AI could spit out articles just as well or better.

    If he doesn’t go quietly, he’ll find out what being on the PUP list means.

    Depending on his current location, Boston might be a tad better.

    The Receptionist is one of The Count’s favorites… the (in)famous Helen Waite. People coming in are told to go to Helen Waite. The Count is sure you have all met her at one time or another.

    On the “Journalism” scale, he is really valuable.

    Now, on the other hand, if he had been traded for nothing but an empty wastebasket . . .

    As someone once said (I think on JAG) : “It could be worse.” “Oh, yeah?” “Yeah; it could be Canada.”
