Hey Eric, fellow mulatto here.

How do you not get in legal trouble for your man on the street sketches in New York? In one bit, when you're doing the 5 erics, you're blocking an intersection right in front of a cop car?

First off let me say that I love your work, you're the reason why I subscribe to Rolling Stone and whenever you drop an article, I call it a Taibbi day. It's like Christmas and your favorite rapper dropping a new album all rolled into one which is kind of messed because you write about how Wall Street is fucking us over. Here's my question: How much work goes into one article? How many people do you interview? How much research do you have to do? How much snooping and muckracking do you do? How many pages of obscure Government documents do you have to do read? How much is everything you have to do?

p.s. If you're ever in San Francisco, I'll buy you a beer for every piece you've ever written.

Is J-school necessary or even beneficiary for becoming a journalist anymore?
