Maybe Wick wasn’t kidding about wanting that ambassadorship of Costa Rica. Today he announced he has retired as publisher of People Newspapers. Put your hands together for the new guy in the corner office, Jason Heid (whose bio on their blog now needs updating).

Jason, have you called UT Southwestern yet to get on the list?
Tim, leave him alone while he considers letting me use the word “butt” in the newspaper again. Wick didn’t like it but now, well, things are different. And really, you have no idea how many times it’s necessary to say “butt” in Park Cities People.
Good riddance to Wick the Highland Park *****. What an old fool.
Jason, we’ll let your comment stand, just to show all FrontBurnervians that this is truly an open forum. But you should know that you’re not impressing any of us. Wick might be both the things you’ve called him, but here on FrontBurner we expect people to support their assertions.
You’re on notice.
