This whole damn story reeks of "WTF???!!"… But it’s true.
Let’s see here, free society, free country, dude looses his job for Blogging and free speech… Huh, just doesn’t add up! 
Some dude got fired, because he outed himself on a "Profane" sports Blog.
Quote:
A Washington Post staffer who had been blogging at a sports-themed Web site apparently lost his job after editors came across some profane-laden postings that also identified him as a Post scribe.
Michael Tunison, who blogged under the name "Christmas Ape" at the "Kissing Suzy Kolber" site, wrote on Wednesday that he had been fired for "bringing discredit to the paper."
To his credit, Tunison said:
Tunison, in an e-mail to E&P on Friday, stated:
"There was no conflict of interest between my writing for Kissing Suzy Kolber and my work for The Washington Post. The blog is not a journalistic endeavor and it is not something I was paid for until I revealed my identity. It is a humor blog about the NFL, whereas my job for the paper was to cover local news in a suburban county outside Washington, D.C. It is beat that has nothing to do with a professional football league.
"I also find it troubling that I was summarily fired for engaging in something that is core to the spirit of The Washington Post: full disclosure. Even if editors had a problem with the language used in the blog, they should have been able to respect that my goal was not to defame The Post, but to be forthcoming with my readers.
If I were Tunison, I’d be seeing me a lawyer. That’s got termination without reasonable cause written all over it.
Oh and yes, I know, I left some snarky comments over there. I was teasing the guy. I wanted him to come look at this post. 
I wish you the best Mike, Seeing you’ve got the experience, you should be alright.
….and by the way…..
Oh…. man…. that….that….that…would get me in sooooooo much trouble.
