For those confused by the Bossy Bottom phrase: "Hello. Please f*ck me. Here's the instruction manual."

All I'm asking for my wedding are bagpipes.

Gotta love that pic - all that's needed is some sinister laugh, ala Ren from Urusei Yatsura. Either that or that sinister laugh of hers...

PS) We still get the main mag and the Kids, so don't blame me if other units are having problems.

Aside from the "favors for favors" ickiness associated with a policy move of this sort, what really makes my skin crawl is the thought of having to work hand in hand with sales staff.
If the ones at my pub are any indication of the norm- these people are fucking retards with no scruples whose only concern is their commission. Not a good alliance for anyone who wishes to keep integrity in their newsroom.

It is truly amazing how isolated we all were in the fifties out there on that lonesome prairie. I can remember hitching rides to Big D for Rolling Stone and Beat literature at the Doubleday bookshop on Elm or one of them. I had to go nearly a hundred miles as the road runs to find anything not hewing to the company line.
The brightest of us went away to school, and came back, and we marveled. I remember conversations with two buddies of that hierarchy, and neither one of them could tell what exactly it meant to be "conservative" or "liberal." It's like a concept of feathered flying critters to a mob of penguins.

If yes- I see your point. It is difficult to keep integrity when the almighty dollar is what makes the world go 'round. How is this to be avoided? Good question.
As for the refusal of most media organizations to finger the Republican party as mentally deficient, etc- I'd hope it doesn't take a media personality, article or punditry of any kind to point out what is patently obvious anytime one of these "demented" individuals opens their mouth. I mean- most of these motherfuckers say it loud and plain themselves anytime they speak in public.
And in the interest of being truthful, the media would also be obligated to point out that a good number of Democrats are substantially challenged as well- see: concessions re: Stupak/Pitts amendment.
As is the case in most management structures, the unimaginative and ineffective rise to the top, and everyone else is left to make the best of it. And that's the unfortunate state of affairs these days from newsrooms trying to survive to the top of the American legislature.
