Remember, the antics of Michael Richards hasn't hurt Seinfeld syndication.

No, you barely got reelected because the people of New Orleans were fed up with you. It's been my understanding that Nagin hasn't exactly made low-income housing a priority in reconstruction. That's how you get the black people back, doofus. Thanks to the third-world status of your city, far too many African-American New Orleanians live in poverty.

As for the comparison to Michael Richards, a comment on this queer blog addresses that question,

"Garrison Keillor? Dont we have far more menacing enemies to get enraged about?"

I was enjoying that as well. I'm waiting for the first announced cases in humans, whether from school or military meals or maybe Taco Bell. Ah, the horrors of the modern food industry...

Is the Stranger a nonprofit organization? And you feel the need to volunteer to help spread whatever word you think they are spreading?

I am so long out of college that I no longer even use the expression "When I was in college." But I notice that The Stranger seems to have a lot of "Unpaid Interns." Or is there is only one unpaid intern? And the rest get some salary? Is this some new trend in the work-force? You work hard and they don'ty pay you because you are supposedly so incompetent? But you don't seem incompetent at all.

Just curious: why do you do it? You seem pretty adept and if you are the ONLY Unpaid Intern right now, you have done some pretty good stuff. What does the union think? I assume that the Stranger -- an a bastion of enlightenment is unionized.)

What puzzles me is that they keep you wrapped in a blanket of annonymity. Why? You don't even get the benefit of a byline -- pretty cheezy of Management i.e Dan, I think; the least they could give you is the chance to collect some clippings with your name on them.

Anyway, it would be nice to hear -- once you are out of their grip and they can't bully you with a bad recommendation -- your thoughts on the identity and reality of "Unpaid Intern."
