re: #152 Cato the Elder

I wouldn’t call writing 300,000 words a year for your employer a “hand-job” $100,000 a year freebie. Who gives a shit if he was ever in the office or not, they certainly didn’t seem to before his column had the audicity to tell the Republicans that maybe they were going about things in the wrong way.

Why does someone who simply writes a weekly column need to punch a time clock and be physically present at your business office? I do not think they do, nor do I think that most writers actually put in “office hours” at their employers office.

I think it is just another excuse to try to make him look bad that had absolutely nothing to do with why he was really let go.
