“Remember when that Canadian radio program got kind of famous for just calling a payphone in some hot news spot because they had no budget or bureaus? Now that’s the fucking New York Times, and the payphone is fucking Twitter.”I wanted to be Graham Greene filing three pieces a year from some crumbling colonial city or another and smoking opium and fucking hookers like most of you hanging out at The Awl and crying to Morrissey songs on YouTube today — ha ha, how far we’ve come, etc. — but always figured that required a fancy university degree and lots of contacts within the diplomatic corps and press club.
