It Is Right and Proper to Laugh at the Suffering of Journalists
Kurt Schlichter
If it's wrong to spend a week celebrating the misery of your opponents, like that of the scores of just-fired Washington Post hacks who are crying like teenage girls learning there are no more "Twilight" movies coming, then I'm incredibly, totally, enthusiastically wrong. The former journos/current drive-thru operators still have not shut up about the WaPo's mass layoffs, and I am taking unmitigated delight in their pain. Their suffering energizes me. Their tears nourish me. Their humiliation fuels my joy. Hey, maybe democracy dies in darkness, but as long as the WaPo dies, I'm good.
I would tell them to learn the code, but that's old and cliché. Instead, I've been on X, inviting them to earn a little money for their kombucha and rent by buffing out my sweet luxury ride, which I paid for with my writing jobs. I'm a professional writer, and they're not.
But hey, I'm sure that journalism degree from the University of College is going to get them another gigsoon. Say it with me – "Would you like to supersize that, sir?"
