    The point of Mika's outburst is, she has not yet realized that the HuffPo does not pay by the word. Or at all. #media

    A better use of the WaPo ombudsman's time would have been to inquire when Mouthpiece Theater was coming out on DVD. #media

    Sportswriters at the Philly Inquirer meanwhile don't have to make predictions. The advertising department has it covered, as today's Macy's ad shows.

    @if_i_only_had_a_heart: I was wondering about that when a wee lad watching the fights with Daddy. See, We both know'd Carlos Ortiz had just whupt Joe Brown for the Lightweight title, but it wasn't official. But we came back from the commercial after the fifteenth round and there was Carlos staging celebration leaps in his corner. And Jack Drees mildly commented on the presumption. I guess with the pandemonium to be expected after any major ring victory there would be no opportunity for a photo shoot.


    And then the judges announced the decision, and in Ring magazine thereafter was one of the photos taken before the decision, and the caption had Ortiz saying he was just so excited when the judges announced he'd won.


    So boxing is fixed. I never forgot that. I thought as a kid it was wrestling only. Then I quite naturally doubted Santa ...


    Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Of the characters I name, maybe one is familiar.

    @ronniedobbs: Yeah, and you see the ironical icon on the wall behind him smoking a pipe? That one celebrated in fiction the reality show of his own grandfather shooting two yankee meddlers for attempting to register blacks to vote not two hundred miles from where three civil rights workers were killed for the same infraction not a hunnert years after. And that one, the one on the wall, he wrote he guessed he'd have to shoot "Negroes" out in the street if it came to that during the Civil Right turmoil. And what was the name of the book this WSJ guy was Pulitzered for? Oh, yeah. Slavery By Another Name


    Them carpetbaggers wrote home, said, you know, I didn't have to pack no irony for the trip.

    @friend_of_a_friend: Cliff Notes:


    William Faulkner wrote stories of the Satoris family, which was his family in real life. And his grandfather reportedly, just like Colonel Sartoris, killed two carpetbaggers in the attempt at registering freedmen to vote in antebellum Mississippi.


    His comment on the riots in play in that era were taken up by James Baldwin, among others.


    The irony is that he should be prominently displayed on the office wall of one scoring a Pulitzer for a book entitled Slavery By Another Name.


    Is that better?


    Sidenote: I really admired the chutzpah of William Buckley during the debate with Gore Vidal on teevee during the '68 campaign: "That's too convoluted to follow". Wonderful confidence, which says, if I don't understand it, then it cannot be understood.

    Indeed..real journalism seems so endangered lately, it's good to see some deserved joy, a reward for a tough but important job. I think there might be another sex scandal in that last pic's scene though, before the night is over. But it's a joy to see non-famous journalists getting some recognition, well done.

    Chances are we won't be reading about any power outages either.


    One way to have taken the pulse of their subscribers' need to have a daily home delivered paper would have been to check their "I didn't receive a paper today" complaint system and then drive over to those houses and see the forlorn souls peering out of their windows waiting for the paper to come.


    Nancy Nestor, I hope they hear you now.
