More Ghostwriting
November 12th, 2010
“Hey, everybody, check out my Atlantic article. It’s in the Atlantic, did you hear? I got an article in the Atlantic. It’s a chapter from my book. Did you know I wrote a book? Go to Amazon and buy my book. Or Chapters. It’s there too! Oh, yeah, and did you know I write for the Atlantic? I should put my Atlantic article on my website!”
OK, fine, I’ll post the goddamn link again. Happy?
Ghostwriters. Yeah, I feel their pain. I’d hate to spend my days writing just to see some tenured fucker at a university get all the glory. Hey wait . . . .
I just saw your brother Carl give a talk at the University of South Carolina. He didn’t mention you once. Or this website. What gives?

Uh, yeah, nice try, Carl. Like the rest of us don’t read John Grisham novels. And as if you’d actually fork over money to a law firm. Hey, asshole, here’s an idea: Next time, spend some money on a web designer; they’re cheaper than lawyers.
Christ, what an idiot.
