It's A Wenner-ful Life

When you're driving that Prius at 11 miles hour or sweltering while your thermostats set a 78 remember (and I want even mention toilet paper squares) that's just for you common folk. There are some people whose role in society is just so important that we must make allowances for them. Like magazine publishers.
The rumor around Rolling Stone's offices has the boss, who's known for taking long holidays, only spending two weeks on the job between now and Labor Day. Having returned from an idyll in Greece for his son's wedding , the wee mogul is off to Sun Valley, Idaho, for a spell, presumably in the company of his boyfriend, Matt Nye, and their one-year-old son.( and he doesn't like people interfering with nature) Assuming he only makes one round trip in each direction, that's a total distance of around 14,000 miles.
In his private jet.

But wait, there's more...
And Wenner isn't much better when he's in town, where he has a chauffeured Mercedes to shuttle him the 15 blocks or so between his apartment and his office. Even more wasteful is his lunch routine: a private chef prepares his meal at home, then staffers drive it down to the office, don black-and-white uniforms, and serve it to him on his personal china.
