    Right, Rupe. Because if the New York State government -- or the feds for that matter -- were the least bit competent, you and your grifting, prison colony bred yellow journalism shitshow would have been run out of the US long, long ago, and you would have to content yourself with poisoning public discourse in Great Britain and Oz alone.

    @i'm a bottle: The very first online national experiences were named like The Source and Compuserve, which charged by the minute. The Source was a huge scholastic database for the elites to roam freely inside for seven bux a minute. Everybody just waited in their friendly free neighborhood BBS until sanity reigned once more in the Big Picture.


    It's a bloody carousel.

    @Tremonius: I'm too young to know about the Source. Interesting phenomenon. Remember the opening sentence of the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte?


    "Hegel remarked somewhere that all great world-historical facts and persons occur, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the one time as tragedy, the other time as farce."


    The idea that the NYT will crumble is enough to drive me to drink. What a bad business decision: building a tower at the moment of greatest extension of the real estate bubble.

    How can one not miss this writing style and editorial flair? It's like a Scrabble player who memorizes all the two letter words. Such a clever demonstration of verbal economy. I'm looking forward to your next syllable, though bye is becoming redundant.

    "Last month, sources tell me, former Hollywood mogul David Geffen MADE an offer to buy the 19% stake in the Times held by hedge fund Harbinger Capital Partners, but no deal was struck." (caps mine)


    That's "made," Owen. Not makes. I believe your sentence should read, "David Geffen, the wealthy friend of Dorothy, wantED to buy the New York Times."
