No Miner No Miner No Miner

The new Reader comes out tomorrow.

I must, I must, I must not write about Miner. I am sick of writing about Miner. No Miner, no Miner, no Miner. I don’t want this blog to turn into Miner Sucks. Because that would be too depressing for words.

I mean, say some lovely young thing comes up to me at a party and we’re talking and then she says, "Well, enough about your boring day job as an alligator wrangler. What are your true passions? What are your HOBBIES?"

And I say, "well, I collect Betty Boop memorabilia and I, er, co-write an anonymous blog about how Michael Miner at the Chicago Reader sucks." And she says, this time with an exaggerated Russian accent, "I knew it. You are no man! You are a boy, only a boy!" And then I start to cry.

No Miner, no Miner, no Miner. I will not, as young Spiky likes to say, go Miner. I will not go gentle into that not-so-good Miner.
