    The last time Michael Wolff was in touch with anything contemporary was when he was boffing that junior writer. #arguments

    Shoot, I think the SF Chron has a great business plan! Fabulous. They set records the last six months for over a quarter drop in circulation, but they raised the price of the paper 33% on the street, so they claim to be swimming in cash. Eventually there will be one old rich diehard on Nob Hill paying $25K per diem for one each and the only autographed copy of the paper that was the Chronicle. #arguments

    I thought the headline read "Superfluous Semitic Smackdown." Which would have been a different kind of battle entirely. #arguments

    Michael Wolff needs to get got more often. Carr's a rock star and the only thing he's missing for the gig are Michael Wolff's Steven Tyler-esque lips. A cockwaffle if there ever was one. #arguments

    I went to a gallery showing of his paintings and was surprised at how really not awful they were and they were not, as I expected, painted on velvet.

    I think Larry the Cable Guy would be the first to tell you that Pinot noir is definitely not the wine to drink with foie gras. He's picky like that.

    @elinorwhyme: Well, it all depends on how it's served. Yes, it is often best accompanied by a white wine or perhaps a port or some other dessert wine, but if it's served at dinner then pinot noir is is one of the highest recommendations. I'm almost ashamed that I know this.

    @The Cajun Boy: No need to be ashamed, like kind of knowledge is just an appreciation of life. Anyway my rule is when in doubt, champagne, champagne, champagne! Or prosecco anyway.

    @elinorwhyme: This "when in doubt" theory led to a tumultuous Friday night-before-last that I did not wake up from until Sunday morning. Inexplicably I still maintain this is good advice.

    And sweet Jesus, does that picture have to be so enormous on the front page? It effectively scared the shit out of me, so well done, Night Man.

    @Nice Beaver:
    Actually, the hardest part of knowing things like that is telling your parents how loosely you use the verb "to know". It breaks a mom's heart to know her baby reifies his tastes and attitudes.

    Five. Dollars. A Word. I mean, listen: I know it's semi-inexcusable for me to be shocked by that number, but it's like looking at what a one bedroom loft costs in downtown Omaha: you simply can't believe people are (or were) living like that. Adjust for inflation and holy shit: the only way a writer could pull that kind of con now is if he's taking money for every word he doesn't write [bidding starts at $0.45].

    @Foster Kamer: I too refuse to buy such a thing. They're all wildly hyperbolizing or have their pants aflame. No way in hell did that transaction ever happen in the world of print journalism. Copywriters for Microsoft or Apple product, on the other hand.. They prolly get paid $500,000/word.

    @snugbug: Hmm, more like $4 a word, but it happened. Just not for most of us. That rate was for the famous authors/essayists who would write one 3000-word feature a year at two or three mags tops.

    @elinorwhyme: Even not-so-famous niche-media types (such as yours truly) could get $1/word a few years ago. One could (sort of) scrape by at that rate.

    Today, at 10ยข a word, I can no longer afford to write. I know that I'm supposed to suffer for my art, and that I should feel awful for being unable to keep my creative fires burning, but I don't.

    @snugbug: Oh, no, the thing is, I know it happened. I'm just still shocked by it. Tina Brown paying $5/word in '99 = Tina Brown paying upwards of $250/feature at The Daily Beast in '09.
