Whatever a man sows he reaps.

Sewing and reaping seems to apply to women too. Sure glad in this case.

I have a feeling Karma is not done with her yet.

The Rockland County Times has learned that Rockland County Chief Editor Caryn McBride is among the casualties of the recent purge of 17 journalists and 26 total staffers at the Gannett-owned Journal News newspaper.

McBride gained fame earlier this year for her involvement in the Journal News gun map fiasco. Police reports indicated McBride had called the Clarkstown Police Department to notify them of torrents of angry phone calls and letters the newspaper received following the publication of the map.

I can well imagine that after Clarckstown police received a torrent of angry phone calls from Ms. McBride, they told her to stop ticking people off, and those people will stop calling and threatening to cane her.

Poetic justice. I'm surprised her home hasn't been broken into by a crook who knows that she keeps no guns.

After all the ruckus, what to do think the odds are she went out and bought one?

Any bets on which paper will hire her next?

She has small market experience, so I don't see her going to the big cities. I'd guess, Sacramento Bee, Rocky Mountain News or Austin Statesman.

[Cedar Park Dad]

Well they Austin Mistakesman styles itself as a wannabee NY Times. She might fit in perfectly.
