Is this right???

Or calling the cub reporter and having him take dictation of a story over the phone. </me in my first full-time journo job>

 

But how stupid can a columnist be in these difficult times to boast publicly about flying first class?
Sounds like the Big 3 chairmen flying to Washington on private jets.

 

At least he didn't get a massage while trying to get the scoop on where Favre was going.

 

If you fly enough, you often get automatically upgraded from coach, free of charge, if there are unsold seats in first class.

I'd bet half my paycheck ($4 million) this is what happened here.

 

While on assignment, I shall require the finest horse-and-buggy carriage the world has to offer.

 

Not to nitpick, but is 50K "major"?

 

Nowadays, it may be.
