At least he's "real"....gotta like Eric on that one...
obnoxious little shit, at times....doomed to butt heads 
with "word" people and "money" people, forever, (they'll 
always win), but I wish they were all like him....take a 
good look at Eric...once digital/automation takes over 
completely (or has it?)-- they'll quit hiring PJs altogether, 
and you'll wish for Eric...they way we now wish for "objective" 
word people....

Eric, and other idealistic renegades, doomed to failure, are 
the only reason I'm not 100% embarrassed to hold a degree 
in Journalism....Hopefully I'll die before they give up, 
won't have to see it.
