I’m not saying anything about the content of James Ragland’s column. I haven’t even read it yet.
But there’s something about this that just screams “The Onion.”
EDIT: The column is good. Smart tips. It’s just a trite lousy header on the metro page hurting it.
It was a rare Metro column that I actually enjoyed. I’ve found that fees for just about any service can be negotiated, and sometimes you have to be an asshole to get exactly what you want.
