In the Dec 7 issue of TV Guide, GK has a short, 2 page story entitled:
"Get Ready for Monday Night Mudwrestling - Plus Dan Rather and his Orchestra".

It about "Once the author finalizes his 'buyout' of CBS, he'll probably 
introduce a series co-starring a bird and a cat - plus other delights for
viewers."

It's sort of a cute piece but I think some editor got their mitts all over it. 
It doesn't feel like GK, talking style or writing style.

I wouldn't buy the issue just for the story. Read it in the store.

I think  it took him  awhile  to get  into it.  About a third of the way
through the article, I was able to imagine GK speaking what was written.
Maybe he had love on his mind when he started...

I don't think he'd let an editor change his stuff too much -- after all,
he's a best-selling author!  But then again, maybe he was too shy to say
anything.
