Nov 2014

Man has no talent and no sense of subtlety.

EDIT TO ADD: What the hell? If I'm reading the Rawstory article correctly, the editor didn't see this before it was published? ("Once it's on the Web we can't take it back...&quot Varvel can just turn in whatever he wants and it gets published? Shit, I worked at a newspaper that had a PULITZER winner and his stuff **always** had to be vetted by the editorial page editor, and there were times his stuff didn't run for various reasons. But Varvel is hands-off?

Again -- the Star sucks.
