Bono Gets A Job At The NY Times U2's mouthpiece has been hired to write six to ten Op-Ed pieces for the Times in 2009. He'll reportedly be covering subjects like poverty, Africa, and Frank Sinatra. Of course, he's doing it for free.

The NY Times will, for Bono's issues, use special paper made from African trees clear-cut to make way for food production and biofuel crops. So, you see, his writing an op-ed column is fighting both poverty and the energy crisis.
