I don't think that writers are fired from the Globe for writing drivel - nor for fabricating stories. Huh? Barnacle was SPECIFICALLY fired for fabricating stories.

BTW, this story reminds me of the Albert Brooks' movie, Lost in America. A classic yuppie come-uppance tale of a California marketing guy, ends up living in an RV working as a crossing guard. If you haven't seen it, its a must see.

Huh? Barnacle was SPECIFICALLY fired for fabricating stories.The Globe needed to fire someone - someone like Mike. Do you know the story? Anyhow, Mike is somewhat conservative. That probably had a lot more to do with his firing than the tall tales in his columns.
