Bradley, we hardly knew ye. You sound as if you might be the voice of reason at the loony bin; the less-than-toxic Nurse Ratched to Savage's Nicholson. In fact, with your departure, I worry that all we'll have left is a staff afflicted by Stockholm Syndrome for their cruel Editorial Director. I won't even mention the EIC, as we have a love-hate relationship. Suffice to say, I think you all will find many examples in his writing that betray the fact MY head does most of his thinking.

But that's not my problem. As you may have guessed, I grew a set long ago and can handle what life throws my way.

Thank you for all you did to make The Stranger what it is today, and for building a solid foundation for what it will become tomorrow.

And Brad, I never, ever do this, but for you -- well...

I'll tell you what an outgoing Managing Editor needs tonight...an enormous vagina!!!
