Call Me Mr. Grumpy

Actually, that was one of the many endearing nicknames my staff had for me when I was editing the editorial page of the Washington Times. C'mon, John, you remember what it was like looking for a job just out of college in 1982. There weren't any. It was one nasty mother of a recession the like of which has not been seen since, including thebusting of the tech bubble. Is it true that Chelsea went to work for McKinsey for six figures when she got back from Oxbridge? Well, if it is, and deflating to 1982 dollars, that would be about $50,000 a year. I don't remember anybody starting our in the workforce at $50,000 a year, MBAs and lawyers possibly (possibly) excepted. Irving Kristol paid me $11,500 as assistant editor of the Public Interest, bless him. So I say these kids today have some nerve complaining! You tell 'em, Hillary!
