    Lapham's an idiot. It's a trick question because your caddy hands you that 7-iron, or as it was called when Lewis graduated Yale, a "mashie-niblick."

    Let's hope the SI/Fortune PTB don't follow their HBO brethren's example and have the HR head do a victory lap w/her VP showing off new mink coats purchased with their bonuses.

    At least one print outlet is being "resurrected." From TPM - "Staff of the Southern Voice, a gay weekly in Atlanta and one of the handful of publications shut down abruptly by parent company Window Media last week, have received a $12,000 matching grant to start a new publication. "

    Anyway, thought some good news would be in order...

    Naturally the horrible murders in the Philippines dwarfs anything else in this post--the enormity of the evil is staggering. But to deal with what my mind can wrap itself around, does anyone else remember when companies--even magazine companies--had sufficient humanity to wait until after the holidays to do layoffs? Now the objective is just to get 'em off the expense side before the new budget kicks in. I always wonder how the executioner executives can watch or read A Christmas Carol unironically.

    @TheBusinessGuy: I would argue that it is still before the holidays. After what date would you no longer lay people off? November 1? Labor Day? Yeah, laying someone off on December 15 is kinda prickish, but lets get a handle on extending the holidays t0 over 15% of the year.

    On the bright side, at least they were laid off before they did their shopping. In a way, it's probably better than being laid off on January 10. Not that being laid off anytime doesn't suck.

    @Pesti-Esti: I think laying someone off two days before Thanksgiving is dickish. What should be the cutoff? In the old days, it was usually November 1.

    In reply to German Newspaper Feud Gets Penis-y
    Did anyone else get the "Pimmel über Berlin" (Penis over Berlin) pun? It riffs on "Der Himmel über Berlin" (The Heaven over Berlin) title of that famous Wim Wenders film aka Wings of Desire.

    No? Just me? OK, I'm a dork.

    In reply to Rumors: Staff Shuffles at New York Post, Sports Illustrated
    You wanna save Sports Illustrated? GET RID OF TERRY MCDONNELL. The guy sat at Esquire watching circulation fall through the floor, his only real talent being to spend ungodly sums of money on basically nothing and for that he ends up being promoted to SI? I swear to god, the best way to save every magazine out there? Bag the over-paid, over-spending captian of the ship and keep everyone else's jobs.
    Tossing McDonnell is perhaps the best example of how this would save the industry.

    @manchops: Terry actually "sat at Esquire" doing just the opposite: publishing dozens of literary icons, many of whom are now in the canon thanks in part to Terry's faith in them. Talese, Mailer, McInerney, Salinger, Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion, Cormac McCarthy...are you kidding me?

    Under Terry's editorship, Esquire was an ASME finalist SEVEN times. Just try comparing Esquire's (well-documented recently by DiGiacomo in VF) pathetic fiction to the work Terry accomplished back then.

    @Immaculate:
    1) Jann promoted Terry because he earned that ME position.
    2) "Personal habits"? You're actually chastising someone who worked at Rolling Stone under Wenner in the early 80s for having fun?
    3) Jann and Terry, to this day, are close friends. If Terry stole anything from Jann, it was a series of classic Hunter S. Thompson anecdotes due to the fact that HST adored Terry and wasn't so fond of Jann.
    4) Nick writes his own novels. Terry is (and will proudly admit it) an editor, not a writer. And an effing legendary one, who works seven days a week, has completely revived si.com (who do you think oversaw the CNN partnership?), and most importantly, a gentleman.

    Jealousy doesn't justify idiotic, ignorant bashing of someone you clearly know nothing about.

    Have you noticed her styling lately? she always shows up on Morning Joe looking like she spent all night dancing on a banquette and didn't make it home to comb her hair or wash her face. I believe the young people would call her a "hot mess." #businessweek
