Helping out a friend
Starting as of now, I am participating in this Blog Meme about getting Mike a job.

You see, he wants to turn his blog writing skills into actual money by writing for the local daily publication, The Commercial Appeal.
Mike's sardonic, rapier-like wit would be a great fit, simply because the CA takes itself too seriously. They are too far in bed with the power people of Memphis to take them on when they do wrong, but Mike isn't.
Go get 'em Mike!
