This was one of the last handful of writers who made me think there was still something worth saving at the Post. You could staff a great newspaper with everyone Bezos has driven away, and hopefully someone will do that.

And, uh, some personal news: This is also my last column for The Post. I was offered and accepted a buyout.
To answer one possible next question, I'm not sure what's next save taking some time off. If you want, you can enter your email at pbump.net and I'll let you know when I figure it out!
