Sally Scores Bagels

Sally T. Intern rang the WLBOTT hot-line at 4:30 am (not as bad as it seems – we sprung forward this morning). She had a bagel connection.

So…. I was at the Y yesterday, where they have a large-print copy of the Bible in the foray. I’m always curious with what page was most recently chosen by a passerby. Yesterday, the Bible was opened to Chapter 1 of the Old Testament book Lamentations. I’d never read it before. It is prosaic and […]

BEEZ says PLEEZ / WLBOTT Editorial Staff Caves

We received a call this morning from Jeff Bezos. He told us to knock it off – we either take an editorial position that excludes politics, or he is firing all of us. Swing the pendulum the other direction. This was odd, because we don’t work for him. But when the BEEZ says PLEEZ, you’d […]
