Vicki Bosie, I love you, seriously. It's a cliche, right? The golden rule? Only it's not. It's what we're supposed to be about. And you've invoked it at the right time and in the right place. Now if only there were a capitalist Prince Charming who could deliver you into his kingdom... #newsweek

I hope I can be this cool and noble when I get laid off.

This is why you ALWAYS cut off the employees IT and badge access DURING the termination.

"Vicki, come on in and sit down - just have a seat here while I send this email to IT. Click. There we go. Now, about your future with the company." #newsweek

I won't be convinced that Time is at all serious about their brand of stupid unless they name Glenn Beck Man of the Year. Even "The Angry American" won't cut it. #media

Have you watched the CNN online newscast? It's two college kids doing the news from the bridge of the Enterprise but with most of the props missing. #media

@Magister: I know what you mean. I love Blitzer's idiotic tags to stories. For example, if Earth were blown up by the Martians, Blitzer would say on the outro, "The Earth has been blown up. Certainly a tragedy, and we will be following this." Jack Cafferty always looks at him as if he's a fly in Cafferty's soup. #media

@TheBusinessGuy:
What gets me is when he's "interviewing" a reporter or analyst to provide background and asks questions which he should be able to answer, if he's half as smart as his audience, but some producer's obviously telling him there's an interesting factoid somebody, somewhere may not have heard.

The anchors on cnn.com were much the same way, except unlike Blitzer, I never expected them to know.

@Magister: After watching Blitzer for five minutes, you really don't expect him to know much of anything. Actually, the only CNN headliners with real heft are Amanpour and Zakaria--especially Zakaria, whose Sunday show always feel like the ideal seminar at the Kennedy School. #media

Have you noticed her styling lately? she always shows up on Morning Joe looking like she spent all night dancing on a banquette and didn't make it home to comb her hair or wash her face. I believe the young people would call her a "hot mess." #businessweek

"There is nothing worse than the awkward wake up next to a girl, who is not as hot as you thought she was when you were 12 deep the night before." Just imagine how she feels waking up to your mug, Chris! Why is it that ugly guys feel entitled to bang hot chicks even though his face looks like an asshole?

Figures he'd be wearing a Red Sox cap. Amazing, too, that a guy who's probably never been laid in his life would write a column about getting laid. #media

Maybe instead of charging the paper with harassment, Fairfield University could close The Mirror down for failing completely at its mission statement. I get that newspapers are a dying medium, but editors are still supposed to edit and journalists are still supposed to have some basic understanding of grammar, punctuation, syntax, and how to craft a narrative.

On the other hand, that article definitely makes a fierce case for abstinence, so maybe the Society of Jesus is having the last laugh here. #media

Is it just me or does anyone else find more than vestigial traces of irony in that our focal point's surname sounds
suspiciously like some third-rate feminine hygiene product?

Wait a second, given that he arguably qualifies as a third-rate douche, cancel that last query.

Peripherally, it should be noted in an attempt to appear more worldly that Mr. Surette "went metric" quite some time ago, so that reference to being "12-deep" is centimeters, or in the alternative, his IQ.
