COLUMNS
Now Is the Winter of My Discontent:
OK, so I was all optimistic about the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Niner, but that was like three weeks ago, back when I had a newspaper column that ran every other week, but now I have a newspaper column that runs every three weeks, and sure, I want to complain about it--I kinda am right now--but it's not as easy as bitching about the difference between having a weekly column--like some columns in this paper used to be, in this weekly Alternative Weekly--and an every-third-week column, which mathematically I think would be like 33.3 % less column, I guess? Or maybe 66.6 % less than if it was a weekly column? Yeah, there's some sorta Mathematical equation in here someplace, like, if x = a Year's Worth of Every-Other-Week Columns, then a year's worth of Now My Column Only Runs Every Third Week = Bullshit. | Mr. Wrong by Joe MacLeod
