    When I was younger and more aimless I did one of these vanity project ghostwriting gigs, but in exchange for writing and editing his utterly mundane reminiscence I was actually paid $20 an hour. Even then I had to stop after a month because it was just too depressing to spend my days knee deep in so much drek and delusion. I did get to spend a few afternoons "researching" 40-year-old issues of the Saturday Evening Post at Columbia. That was kinda cool.

    A nobody whose sole claim to fame is that 26 years ago he lived with Obama but the book he is writing isn't a tell-all? Wow, what savvy publisher wouldn't snap that up for a six-figure advance!

    @TheBusinessGuy: Come on, be fair. He says right in the ad that he has a "highly visible career", so I'm guessing: school crossing guard at P.S. 6, person waving in Rock Center during "Today" show, or Jay McInerney.

    Hey, I work at Five Guys here in D.C. and Obama comes in three times a week.

    Here's what he orders:

    A single patty cheeseburger
    fried onions
    lettuce
    tomato
    pickles
    barbeque sauce

    In my memoir the sandwich has a late night conversation with the president where it helps him solve national issues, offering sage advice on foreign policy, and discussing the detriments of high cholesterol and closing Guantanamo. The president will think it was all indigestion, but the world will know "Cowpatty" was the most influential slab of processed dead meat the president ever conversed with.

    I’m planning to ask for movie rights.

    This listing may set a new standard for "most requirements for least rewards." (Also for "most protracted hanging on of coattails.")

    @La Mareada: A teeny, seriously Mexican pueblo about an hour and a half north of Puerto Vallarta. Living with a boyfriend, broke off my ass but having a great time. Been here six years, not eager to return stateside: between the economy and the conflagration of right-wing morons, it scares me.

    @Lysergic Asset: They shoot humans, don't they?

    I liked living in El Paso because it was such an easy stroll to Juarez. Ah, Waa-zoo, which is, I see in the news today, the most homicidal city on earth. I think that includes Baghdad and maybe even Detroit.

    There is speculation La Republica may become a failed state, and all because of the rush to provide sauce for the nostrils of high school dropouts like Lins.

    @Tremonius: The glory of living in a very high-profile tourist area is that the drug war hasn't come calling here... and of course, I hope it never does. Legalization would solve everything (I'm simplifying things profoundly, I know) but it would also render many influential people to get rich while others die tryin'.

    @Tremonius: I heard about that, but I think there is much less shooting in Puerto Vallarta... although tourists get murdered now and again, too, though usually in robberies.

    NY Post: "Once, the suit says, the super's wife whacked Rotger in the family jewels with a bag in an unprovoked attack this past August. Rotger was "diagnosed with a contusion of the testicle," the suit says."

    The board is countering that the contusion was caused by Ambers' foot job.
