Attention Freelance Writers!
The Coeur d’ Alene Press in, you guessed it, Coeur d’ Alene Idaho, is in desperate need of writers. But before any of you potential freelancers apply, check out my quick “historical” narrative of Coeur d’ Alene. You’ll be better informed…and extremely desirable.
“It” used to be a sleepy resort town, owned by a sleepy rich white guy. The sleepy rich white guy, went and built a really cool white while phallic hotel…on the white sandy beaches of a lead polluted lake. There used to be a group of slow and painfully confused white guys that would parade around town once a year, claiming they were superior white guys. Free beer Thursday made for many great times at Peabody’s, “A Party Place with Rock and Roll!”
Now a days, the white folk of Coeur d’ Alene have less free beer, less superior marching white guys and are forced to read articles by former “advertising executives,” posing as freelance writers. Hence we now know why he is a former “advertising executive”. Read his art, here.
To apply as a freelancer with the Coeur d’ Alene Press, try emailing the Managing Editor mpatrick@cdapress.com. Be sure to ask, so…..exactly what decade is your newsroom operating in?

You sound like a black guy that is upset that a rich man came in and rebuild the town back up! Even the golf course is nice! At least you have some nice blue eye people living by you! LOL
Just kidding as I was in Spokane for many years!

Duane! I thought you might show up…
But shouldn’t you be checking with your publicist, therapist
or even a maid, before you leave comments like that?
President Obama’s people will be “contacting” you….shortly.

Well, I’ve never been a white guy – do you think that gives me an edge?

Coeur d’ Alene could use some non-Hagadone approved talent, this much we know for sure. Your lack of white guyness does not really add to, nor take away from your obvious talent and ability. They’d be lucky to have you.
However, in all my years of binge drinking in the area, I have a gut feeling. A gut feeling of Michael Chertoff sized proportion, that you would be passed over, due to the fact that you might think outside the box, and have a general, notion of, when, and where, to put, commas.,
Oh, and you aren’t Sherman Alexie, either.,
