'N.Y. Press' Editor Quits in Wake of Pope Cover

NEW YORK Jeff Koyen, editor of the alt-weekly New York Press, quit today after refusing to accept a two-week suspension in the aftermath of the paper’s controversial “52 Funniest Things About the Upcoming Death of the Pope” cover story, Koyen said.

The article by Matt Taibbi had drawn heated denunciations from the likes of Sen. Chuck Schumer (“The most disgusting thing I've seen in 30 years of public life") and a spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg ("As disgusting as this is, it's sadly par for the course for this publication").

Don't you just love a happy ending? It sort of brings a tear to my eye.
