Why the Commercial Appeal Needs to Hire Me

According to this story for Editor & Publisher, the hiring of an explicitly "red" blogger for the Washington Post's website has caused a "firestorm."

I'm telling you, hiring me as the new Metro columnist to replace the outgoing Wendi Thomas would be a coup for the CA. It would be acknowledgement and recognition of the growing red-state nature of Tennessee, or at least those parts of Greater Memphis that aren't trapped in Seventies black orthodoxy.

And it would make the Commercial Appeal a national sensation.

Give me a chance, Mr. Peck.
