Remember when semi-original cast member Bill Murray went back and hosted Saturday Night Live? Well, this is sort of like that, only not as funny.
I was invited this morning by the newsroom to say something on the NEWS editors’ blog — which appears to be mostly about explaining stuff here at the newspaper, which I’m all for — about MY blog and the Ravenel story. So I summoned my best manners and wrote something I hope will find some acceptance with a wider audience.
This rare opportunity to use a newsroom platform was a good chance to make the point about just how rare an opportunity it is. That sentence should probably be rewritten, but hey, this is MY blog. Anyway, we seldom get such access to one another’s domains. In fact, this is the first time I’ve written anything to be handled by the newsroom since I wrote a column to go into the "extra" they did on 9/11/01.
Please go take a look at it. Leave some comments if you like. But please, behave yourselves. Not all those folks down there know me very well, and they’re likely to judge me by you — and I do run into some of them down in the canteen from time to time.
Don’t be gettin’ all rowdy or anything. The news domain is not a Wild West saloon. None of that spittin’ and scratchin’ and grabbin’ at the dancin’ gals that you get away with here. And, like at my place, certainly no unprovoked gunplay.
Now, be sweet, as your mama would say, and go make a nice impression.
