Can I have a job at the Times please?

Alice Miles has a column in the Times today.

"Yep, I'm afraid that of all the important things happening in the world, I found myself most taken by an entire page in The Sun that began with the slightly unpromising paragraph: "BRAVE Kate Middleton rallied yesterday after her shock split from Prince William- by facing the world with a TENNIS RACKET."

It brought to my mind the words of President Abraham Lincoln to General George McClellan during the US Civil War- "My dear McClellan: If you don't want to use the Army I should like to borrow it for a while." If the most important thing Alice Miles wants to write about is a socialites personal relationships, could I borrow that 900,000- person readership?
