    I'm going to use this as an excuse for all career fallow periods from now on. "I was too important for Google to hire."

    Assuming some of you Garofalos work in media it's disheartening and predictable to see you mock and ridicule one of your industry's brightest hopes for a future in digital.

    Wandering the halls of Google one day, I came across a load of bullshit.

    "Hey, I said. I know a whole lot of other loads of bullshit that I'd like to bring on board and present at the next conference."

    The load of bullshit stopped me

    "No," said the load of bullshit, "it's important to save some loads of bullshit for later conferences. It's important to the ecosystem. After all, if we concentrate our loads of bullshit in one conference, we won't have any other loads of bullshit to spread around later."

    That's great, I said. Then I killed myself.

    "It's not that I don't love you, it's just that you're such a good guy you need to get out there and share yourself with other women. It'll be better for us both in the long run."

    We'd love to hire you, but you're just too damned ... GOOD.

    (Although it's easy to propound in a total buyer's market, the theory does make some sense.)

    So...according to Google, you can sustain yourself and pay for things with your awesomeness alone? You don't need a job or a paycheck for that?

    With the exception of Keith Kelly and Michael Riedel (yup I'm gay) I stopped reading anything but the headlines in the NY Post years ago. The Wall Street Journal? I think about once every six month I click a link from mediabistro that directs me to their paywall.

    I'm not exactly crying in my cookies about losing Murdoch's "expensive and distinguished" journalism.

    @manchops: Why are you reading Michael Riedel? He's a poisonous little weasel. Which is why he found the Post so cozy.

    Rupert has extended his time on earth by drinking the blood of virgins and munching on freeze-dried placenta. But this might not be enough as he moves towards 80.
