Ten acceptable columns
The problem with being asked to do make something from scratch once a week — something that must be very different from all the previously made things that came before — is that sometimes you do a good job, and sometimes you do a job.
As Lorne Michaels so memorably said of SNL, "The show doesn't go on because it's ready, it goes on because it's 11:30." So sometimes, my column just was a bunch of words that were reasonably amusing and hopefully free of factual and grammatical errors.
But other times, I wrote columns that didn't make me cringe and I was in fact a little bit proud of. So here are my ten favorites, in no particular order.
