The Onion Says It Has Bought Infowars, Alex Jones’s Site, Out of
Bankruptcy

Mary's son who lives in Austin was passed over (came in second) for a
job as a writer at the Onion (decade+ ago) which lead him to take a job
editing bills at the State Legislature... he's well read, very
progressive and generally as Lefty as you can be with those qualities.
He is also a very capable critical thinker/writer.
I sent a pic of the Onion/Jones diptych and suggested he grow a beard
and unlimber his best snark (he has some great snark) and re-apply for a
job. He is very angry about the arc of TX as well as US politics and
I think he could channel that into an on-air presence that would do
justice to Jones' affect. Though the massive cortisol rushes might
shorten his life... he's mid 40s.
It was probably a disservice... he might go for it.
