Wow - so this guy gets paid to rehash other people's articles? This article is 80% quotes from Labash and 20% original comments. Sounds like a pretty laid back job to me.
That sounds like Canadian involvement in world politics, if you substitute "Eurotrash" for "Labash." It sounds like Canada's role in the world economy if you substitute "work for their betters in the U.S." for "quotes from Labash" and "work for themselves flensing whales and ushering drunks into hockey arenas" for "original comments."
Maybe he could get a gig with NewsMax.
Yeah, in between writing five editorials a week, compiling letters to the editor, answering phone calls from the public, copy editing columns, laying out pages, writing my own column, and dealing with the general fun of being a middle manager, it's a really laid back job.
Umm ... I mean, how on earth can I write about someone else's 8-page story without quoting extensively from it?
