    In reply to Experts: Ad Spending Will Rise by Some Number
    That's why we come to Gawker, for their even-tempered coverage of media.

    Ad spending is already rising (based on my admittedly unscientific observation that my clients are calling to book me again, after 6 months of intermittent crickets). 2010 won't be gangbusters, I suspect it'll be many years before we see spending like we saw in the decade between 1996-2006, but spending will rise nonetheless.

    Now, if only print can follow the Hearst model and stop running around like a bunch of hysterical ninnies, they might start making reasonable decisions again and save their industry for a little while longer.

    Ah yes, but the print ads - pretty much all of which seem to be from Accenture - still seem to be trickling out.

    And yes, almost all of Accenture's copy in the Tiger ads is unintentionally hilarious.

    There is a huge, Accenture billboard on I-35 smack in the center of downtown Austin that features Tiger's picture and the headline, "It's your next move that counts." I'm not sure if they did that on purpose.

    They're just hibernating until golf season opens next Spring.

    I don't see any of the Bimbos or Elin having any kind of value added brand.

    No, they're waiting for the book to come out so they can find out how to get "beautiful" women in Vegas to act as your PIMP.

    Oh that's right, you have to be a Billllllionaire.

    One big powerful oil company, or lots of little ones, seemingly competing with one another...

    One big telephone company, or lots of little ones, actually(?) competing with one another...

    One big media empire, or lots of little ones, seemingly giving us lots of perspectives...

    One big health-care provider?

    Big versus small is so confusing.

    In reply to Notably Dishonest Tycoon Conrad Black Uses 'Honest Services' Clause to Plead for Freedom
    Well, if you can exploit an obfuscation by muddying the waters that have been compounded by the inherent irony of a patently dishonest man being set free by distorting the intention of a law devoted to guaranteeing something as ephemeral as "honest services," a commodity which our Proto-Douchebag Extraordinaire has absolutely no relationship with, then and only then do you get the 21st century's unique spin on "Justice," which henceforth will be known by its brand name, "Just-Ass," as in just an ass would have the titanium testicles to avail himself of this defense given his wholesale disregard for the letter and spirit of the law.

    And that, dear Mother, is why I quit being a lawyer, ok?

    I think this law will get, well, outlawed for vagueness by the Supremes. It is damn vague.

    I don't think think the government would be trying to indict Blagoveich again under a different statute than this one if they had a lot of faith in it.

    "You may have heard, for instance, that every member of Congress will be up for re-election in a year." Funny, no, I've never heard that. That may be because senators, whilst members of Congress like the House of Representatives, are not elected once every two years.

    This sleeping with a source is directly related to sleeping with the person hiring you for said journalism job. Worked for me.

    Isn't this a problem with most of the reporting going on inside of the beltway, you trade chuminess for access. Hopefully at the end of the day you get the dirt and can air it out, but I feel that more often than not they're just sitting on a lot of stories so as not to burn bridges. YOu end up fucking them because you never really meet anyone else (except other reporters, and you've already fucked them).

    Then again I might just be extrapolating from my own experience, however unrelated it might have been.
