What do you do if you work for an idiot publisher?

    I'd leak news of this to a competitor. Writing an editorial from a fictitious group about anti-LGBT matters? Unless it's co-signed by Publius or Silence Do-Good, GTFO with that.

    The guy in legal handling this finally got the publisher to admit he wrote it. Then he follows up with, *I read thru thus and only see one or two things wrong with it."

    Mr. Legal wasn't even supposed to come in today because his nephew is having life saving surgery, but he came in to try to stop this runaway freight train.

    Also, they're guessing he's been up all night drinking so, connect the dots.

    Wow...and I thought John Block had the hold as craziest publisher in America!

    Glad I could hand you a crazier one to help you feel better about the other one! LOL

    What do you do?

    Quit.

    Life's too short - or too long - to work for idiots.

    Life's also too short to be homeless.

    There are other jobs in the same field. Many of them involving fewer idiots.

    And there are lots and lots of other ways to earn a living in different fields, many of them idiot-free.

    We believed you just fine. We just all got sick of you whining about something we all knew already.

    Harvard MBA and he's a newspaper publisher? That tells me everything I need to know and expect from him.
