Mr.Keller: As you are aware, I was on a sabbatical for the past three months after having run out of alibis for the Bush administration's war on Iraq which I supported with a great deal of mental and physical gymnastics.This had taken a toll on my body and brain and I just had to recharge my batteries, so to speak.In addition, my usual sources for the op-ed articles, the taxicab drivers from Bombay to Beijing refuse to talk to me and I am totally at a loss as to who to quote as my wise sources on topics ranging from Technology to War to Terrorism.In this regard, I truly envy Maureen Dowd who doesn't need any sources at all because she is convinced of her own magnificence
and can trivialize the most serious of topics with ease.
Having run out of sources and the reading public's awareness that it is all a sham, I am no longer in a position to continue as a shill for the Bush and Sharon administrations.Judith Miller does a better job at this anyway.
So I have decided to apply for a NYC hack license where my future looks bright indeed.In fact, one of my qualifications for the job is I have been a hack for so long I don't need any training.
And I will continue to work in the News Business by becoming a source
for any future Tom Friedmans you may tap to replace me.You may say I will be operating from the front seat instead of from the back.For a fee, of course.
Thank you.It has been a great ride.
Yours truly, etc.
