The denver post has actually hired an editor to promote pot.
I had grown up as a feature writer, and basically my career had been in the national lampoon and as a magazine editor, and i'd never been a reporter.
When [george w.] bush was elected, i think they thought i would have some sort of special "in" with that administration, to provide some sort of inside poop. which is not something i'd be interested in doing, and anyway, i didn't. i actually knew more people in his dad's administration. so it was obviously winding down at rolling stone, and they were having financial troubles, too. they weren't getting the advertising, and the issues were getting thin. they fired bob love, who'd been my editor there for a long time.
I was managing editor for a while [in national lampoon ], and it does cause business problems when your circulation goes up.
The lampoon started in 1970, and i began writing freelance for them around the end of 1971, and then all through '72. they hired me in '73, and i left early in '81. i did everything from low puns to being editor-in-chief.
A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself.
My dad was an editor and a writer, and that's really where i would have liked to have gone. but the genetic link was not intact there, so i wound up going into business. but i love to write, still. i'm not a great writer, but i enjoy it.
My dad was an editor and a writer, and that's actually what i aspired to be.

I wrote a letter to the magazine [time magazine] pointing out that [richard] corliss's comparison of christopher lee's saruman to osama bin laden, and the vastly outnumbered defenders of helm's deep united against the orcs to the "coalition of the willing" fighting the good fight against muslim hordes, displayed the simplistic, xenophobic, and arrogant worldview that makes the government of the united states feared and mistrusted around the world. the editors claimed they had no space to print my brief letter, which i felt was dishonest and cowardly.
Maybe [i care about language] because i'm an editor, maybe because i'm picky, but it's all we got, don't shrink it. don't dumb it out, make it little.
I'm at a stage in my career where i don't expect or get too much editorial input into what i'm doing. i have a proven track record of success, so my editors are willing to cut me some slack even when a particular approach is not to their personal taste.
