The New York Times, one of the most well-known and well respected newpapers in the world, has taken on U2 frontman Bono as an op-ed writer in 2009. He will write between 6 and 10 pieces for the Times, and he'll do it for free. How nice of him. Apparently he'll write about things like Africa and poverty. Great. Good for him. But when I first heard this news, the first thing that came to mind was this excerpt from Dave Chappelle's special "For What It's Worth:"
I don't really care what Bono thinks about these issues. I would like to hear what politicians and Presidential nominees are doing to combat these problems. So, thank you Bono, for your opinon on these issue, but I would like to see that space put to better use, by people who actually have the power to maybe make some serious changes.
