Y'all have probably heard about those lying journalist-posers, Jayson Blair 
and Stephen Glass.  Now they're both publishing books (one a novel, one a 
tell-all) about their lies and probably making it onto the best-seller (ha) 
list.  Hey, why didn't I think of making up great stories and getting on 
with the New York Times and so forth?  Hmm, because I'm a plump white 
female not from the ghetto and yet not part of the old-boys network and 
couldn't get such a job?  And then I'd be too scared to make up stuff, 
anyway.  But this stinks, 'cause they're going to be rich and have their 15 
more minutes of fame.  Don't buy their books (check them out of libraries 
if you MUST, I suppose.)
