I don’t know how I missed this news item from September, wherein an Anchorage, Alaska reporter quits on-air. Video has a swear word, so probably NSFW. 😃 ---

“Not that I have a choice but . . .” It sounds to me as if she had been fired, then sent out to perform on live television. If so, the producer should be fired as well. ---

Ballot Measure 2 is a way to make medical marijuana real … most patients didn’t know the state didn’t set up the framework to get patients their medicine.” > > “If I offended anyone, I apologize, but I’m not sorry for the choice that I made,” she said. It sounds like she had made plans prior to the broadcast, but that she was quitting on her own accord. ---

Johnny and I corresponded about his wanting to purchase a shotgun I owned, which was the result of a thread about firearms long ago. We were never able to hook up on it, so I sold it to a local gun shop. Happy now? ---

Sometimes stunts like this make me want to buy the perp a drink and toast their courage. This one makes me think of a sulky teenager burning a whole lot of bridges with one match. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-it-i-quit/708703.md?page=2)
