    He's a writer and he said "the chick pilot did good ..."? Even if it is just on twitter, that kind of poor grammar should be unacceptable.

    You can't rip a co-worker repeatedly on your blog and twitter feed and then complain when you're busted. But he basically admits that too. Headline is a
    bit misleading.

    This is like reading the Red Sox bitch about the Yankees spending too much money.

    And while I read the whole thing, I began to lose interest after encountering the word "dope" used to describe his job.
