Julie Burchill Quitting Journalism
Brit journalist Julie Burchill has a colorful backstory. She started her career as a 17-year-old journalist covering the Sex Pistols in 1977 for the NME, defended Margaret Thatcher as a liberal columnist for the Sunday Times, founded the Modern Review with Toby Young and later got into one hell of an argument with Camille Paglia.

We’ll see.
