And the AJC is looking for a new conservative columnist to replace him. It just won't be the same without My Morning Wooten.

    Says here he's still going to write a column:

    So we haven't likely heard the last of "My Morning Wooten."

    For fucking crying out loud, if one more person pulls a Brett Favre and "retires" while not actually retiring, I am going to kill people. Starting with said person. ESPECIALLY if said person is Jim Wooten. Let's face reality - the AJC is going to syndicate Anne Coulter or some other established hack and dispense with even home-grown conservative BS. Seriously, people, when you "retire", you STOP WORKING, and in the case of Jim Wooten, good riddance.

    As usual I feel like an ancient mariner here, but Crazy Jim's been semi-retired for years. This will make his 2nd or 3rd attempt at it actually. He had a 'writing partner' perhaps slightly less than a decade ago(?), and really stopped writing in complete cogent sentences & paragraphs ever since. It's just been those silly 'pithy' short one liners & bullet points for years. Really, short handed blog posts before there was blogger. And this is from the desk of the once most famous, storied & respected newspaper in 'the new South'? He's really been constitutionally unable to actually form any real arguments on much of anything in a complete full editorial, either consistently or often for close to 15-20 years by now.

    So yeah, time enough to let the old bugger toddle off and bring on some new fresh idiocy for them to work with. These from the same people who actually cut the late Great Molly Ivins off their Op-Ed pages. And most of the letters. And any real liberals, (Yes Plural). And any & all labor reporting from the rest of the paper. And any effective, useful or timely business reporting. I could go on.

    So ask not 'why the papers are going into the dumpsters' all over the nation. Know that people are still reading & need to be informed. They're just getting more of the stuff they want from more intelligent yet 'amateur' or 'non profit sources'. All within a decade of being predicted, and their hot shot media consultants claiming that it would be impossible to replace them. Done & Done.

    Wooten's on his last snide little dingy to escape the undertow of the once great ship going down. Good riddance to bad rubbish! JMP
