As you may be aware, The Salt Lake Tribune is running an online subscription contest featuring the hard-hitting journalist Peggy Fletcher Stack, the artistically irreverent Pat Bagley and me. So far, I’m losing.
Among those who have signed up for sltrib.com subscriptions using my link, are Vladimir Putin, two Mormon general authorities (whom I shall not name at the risk of causing them disrespect), a prominent rapper (who shall also remain nameless out of what’s left of the respect I have for myself), and North Korean Supreme Rodent Kim Jong Un.
Then there’s Kim Jong Un, who made it perfectly clear in this heavily paraphrased email as to why he needed a digital subscription to The Tribune.
