    Hamilton I've seen you in a tank top. Rawr. You are smart AND fetching, don't worry. That's my professional Cheetah-based opinion.

    Also in attendance was Don Abrams, that clump of organic and inorganic material Dan Abrams has sewn to his scalp. Reached for comment, Don said (as usual), "You can even swim with me!"

    The other big thing is the announced shuttering of Kirkus Reviews.

    In reply to What the New York Times Lost in the Buyout
    I was just talking to a friend yesterday about how weird it now is that nearly every other thing I read online contains major typos, mis-spellings, bad grammar, poor facts, etc. About how with the internet at hand and with print drying up and cutting back at its copy/research departments, the new norm is dumbed down.

    Sad. I worked at magazines and book publishing for years. I personally wanted to kill every single copy/research person I ever worked with for making us all have to stay late into the night waiting for them to do their job.

    And I take it all back.

    @manchops: Like myself, many old-school copy editors, fact-checkers and proofers still care about every character, every word and every piece of punctuation, and we would sooner go without food than leave behind a tenuous sentence at the end of the day. But I have yet to come across anyone under 40 who has this training or cares about preserving this legacy. I'm losing the enamel on my teeth from gritting them over the sloppy and ignorant use of English online and in print. I'm really glad you mentioned this.

    The funny thing is that NYT's quality still won't suffer NEARLY as bad as what has happened to the Artist Formerly Known as the Washington Post.

    The WP is just a complete piece of shit nowadays.

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: This recent correction was really the vomit icing on the shit cake:

    "A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number."

    was hoping you'd acknowledge the copy editors, who are already in such short supply that i've considered reading with a red fine line in hand. what "electronic editing" hath wrought is a joke, though hardly laugh-worthy. big losses, all.

    A quality NYT is already a luxury wistfully remembered. The worst news of all is that the current mismanagement has stolen the spirit but not the arrogance. A special shout out to Howell Raines, who at least put out a paper people talked about because of what was in it, not because of what was gone.

    @Monte Wooley: Howell Raines is due for a reconsideration. He was no match for the NYT's internal politics buzzsaw, but damn did he produce a great daily paper.

    @Gabriel Snyder: Apart from Judith Miller's "reporting" from Iraq... and shoe-leather great Jayson Blair... and the fact that the "internal politics buzzsaw" turned on him because he was a prick who seemed to enjoy alienating as many people as possible... But yeah, those were relatively speaking the good old days. I also think that most of the people who took buyouts were ones who know they're good enough to get work elsewhere, even in this climate. They were the ones the paper should have tried to hold onto--ironically, sadly.

    It's funny that the Chinese version of "his wife" that they used to describe Mrs. Woods is "his old lady".

    Finally, the Chinese have excelled at something creative, entertaining, and funny.

    It's a shame Next Media is being blocked from launching new ventures. Because... damn: A 30-minute evening "newscast" of these hilarious videos, in Taiwanese WITHOUT subtitles, would kill on Comedy Central.

    I don't know, Apple Daily is taking some serious liberties here. For example: since a Cadillac Escalade is hard to draw, they animated him having sex in a Honda Odyssey.
