Advice to journalists

washingtonpoststyle:

Turn down all assignments.

Your editor should throw up at the sight of you.

Report your pieces as Jane Fonda™, write them as Peter Fonda™.

If your editor asks you to write a profile of Robert Pattinson™, say O.K. Then turn in a piece on a two-alarm fire in which no one was hurt.

Wise Kaplan is on fire today.
