You can't write for a newspaper out of loyalty, or editorial agreement. Those things shift, and then you have to run off in a fit of pique. No, you write for a newspaper because (a) as Dr. Johnson said, "no man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money"; (b) some thoughts are only worth a thousand words; and (c) you have something that fits into (b). -Mark Kingwell, in Toro Magazine
Toro ran a great feature ("Post Mortem") on the dicline of the National Post containing pieces by several contributors. Check out Andy Lamey's. V. funny.
