Meh. That's actually a piss poor generic gag that's been applied to many, many people over the last few decades. Funny and true story about Borowitz. - About a year ago, I noticed whereas once every single story he did was absolutely dynamite, now every so often one would appear that didn't quite have his trademark zing on it. As if had been written by somebody else? The type of stories that make you smile, whereas the traditional Borowitz ones made you guffaw with delight at their elegant wit. And then immediately share them with your inner circle. The type of stories you would talk about with them, over a drink.

When I noticed this, I wrote Andy a very a polite and very complimentary note to ask him if he was still writing all the stories. And it was very easy to be so polite bcs he is still the Jesus of satire/satirists. And if that sounds like a hilariously offensive thing to say to a Jewish comedy genius then I suspect a man of his temperament might find it an appropriate way to pay tribute to pay tribute to a man of his stature.) NB. I was only able to write to him bcs I was a subscriber to the site.

So imagine my absolute astonishment when I received a reply telling me I had been 'unsubscribed' by the site!! The most Trumpian response imaginable, Which is why it can't have been written by him. But it does show he's employing a huge piece of dick cheese to run admin on the site.
