Doswell abruptly fires Dale Brumfield; No One to Continue Blog; Panic Ensues
The blog Newsfromdoswell was left rudderless and pilotless today, left to steer a blinded course into the windswept rocks of apathy as author and blogger Dale Brumfield (Left) was abruptly relieved of his duties by the Doswell town fathers.
“Mr. Brumfield is no longer a part of Newfromdoswell,” said Doswell Leader Wallace Carswell on the front steps of the Ruritan building. “We felt Doswell would be better served by someone who takes a less . . . acerbic view of our community. We will begin entertaining writers and editors for the blog but in the meantime consider the blog to be on hiatus indefinitely.”
The firing occurred on the one-year anniversary of the blog.
Former Saverichmond.com hothead and current Style Weekly Editor Don Harrison was overjoyed at the news of Brumfield’s release from the blog. “Brumfield’s a hack,” he said from his cell phone in his Richmond home after his insane laughing subsided. “He’s been stealing sub-par articles from The Onion long enough!”
The blog will be left online, as any google search for anything containing the word "Doswell" is the first to show up.
As a final parting shot, Brumfield only had one thing to say: “I am stepping outside,” he moaned, “and I may be gone sometime.”
Good night, and good luck.
