100 reporters got the pink slip from the Washington Post today. So how do they bid their adieus? Linton Weeks coded his farewell in his last review published today. Read the upper case letter that starts each paragraph - yes, it spells out "Goodbye readers."
Now, that's a writers way of making an grand exit. One reader replied "and a goodbye to you Linton"
Tip Ministry of art.
So deliciously nerdy!

Make of that what you will. A lot of the big names took it.
