When did Mitch Albom start mailing it in?

I don't know anyone who likes him or his column, so why the hell do they keep that doofus around? The same goes for Rochelle Riley. Do these people have a contract or something? I know if I was that sucky at my job, they could just can me and get somebody better. That stupid O Street vandal lady disappeared, why can't they?

Forgive me but you are acting naive. The reason they .."Keep him around",,, is that he is a best selling author and nationally recognized columnist. And don't mistake my observation as being a blanket endorsement/praise of Mitch Album it isn't. I am aware enough to know that the DFP knows they have a star so to speak and any number of papers[[that are left) would snatch him up quickly were he available.
