    In reply to San Francisco Braces for Gen. Tom Cruise to Move In (And Perhaps Lead Scientology Offensive)
    Why on earth would Tom Cruise be interested in moving to SF? I mean, economically, geographically or culturally . . . what of SF could possibly be of interest to Mr. Cruise?

    I just don't see it. #tomcruise

    A lot of companies are using the economy as a reason to fire people even if they're doing well, which of course, is bad for the economy on the whole. They're awful. #media

    Essence has actually increased their sales but the man gives them no love.
    Glenn and his wife Tania must not read much or visit many websites. The sympathy and well wishes were for the rest of his organs that are still stuck in that cocksucker's ( in the best of ways) body #media

    Definition of a moral dilemma:

    You're the chief surgeon, and you've got the scalpel in hand. You've sworn allegiance to the Hippocratic Oath, but Glenn Beck is just lying there, gassed into a drooling stupor.

    Dear Glenn,

    We don't actually hate you, and we don't want you to die. Truth is, we need you. Without the mutual rim jobs you and Bill and Rush give each other, what would Democrats have to mock?

    You're singlehandedly keeping the shitty-conspiracy-books-sold-at-airline-... business alive, and you've helped rescue some of the twentieth century's true crackpots from the dustbin of history.

    So no, Glenn, we don't want you to die on the operating table. We want you to die broke, alone, and crying in a puddle of your own excrement AFTER we keep the White House in 2012. 'Til then, keep on blabbering! #media

    Andrew Ross Sorkin, whose DealBook column normally appears on this page, is on a book tour.

    The New York Times didn't run its 32-year-old superstar's weekly column. He's now in the UK. And the note (above) suggests that's why his piece didn't appear.

    But a usually reliable tipster tells us that wasn't the whole explanation.

    "I gather that the New York Times pulled Sorkin's column on Tuesday on the grounds that they thought it was not comprehensible, or not good enough - he had filed his regular column that day but the editors decided not to print it so they put something else in instead."

    "Larry Ingrassia - man who issued the statement saying that all was well between Sorkin and the NYT business writers - made the final decision. I don't know what the column was about."

    "Sort of interesting in view of the ongoing oldsters vs Sorkin tensions. NYT business desk abuzz about it, of course."

    In reply to Is Google Using Pilfered Maps?
    I grew up in Aughton and 'Argleton' is about where the end of our garden was, where for some reason someone had built a huge conservatory/shed in front of a small summerhouse bower. Has Google detected all the time I spent in the imaginary worlds of books and made it a place?
