Copy Editor, Richmond Times-Dispatch

When they go against John Marshall, they are called the Confederettes. LOL

 

The editor of the paper, Glenn Proctor, announced today he will retire in July.

Really?

I can agree with that. Not really a mingle-with-the-minions guy, but his actions sure did make sure you knew he had no interest in mingling with the minions, or in listening to them.

 

Their dollar burger night has gone up to $2, but the prime rib special on Sundays is still about a buck an ounce.

 

They need to bring back the late-night hot dogs and guarantee Gulden Draak is always on tap.

 

Re: Proctor. I talked to him about a job a couple of times. I thought he leaned a little too heavily on the "I'm a hardass" shtick. Is he a Marine, too?

 

He is.

 

I'd apply but the pleasure, pressure and pride of sitting in the editor's chair at the RT-D may be a little too much for me. Then again....

 

That really made me laugh. By the way, what are the positive aspects about life in Mechanicsville?

 

Jason Mraz is from there?

Oh, you said positive.

 

There's a Cracker Barrel there.

 

With prime rib about $5 a pound wholesale for a middle of the road grade, if they're getting a buck an ounce from you, you're not getting that sweet of a deal. They are.
