    In reply to Rupert Murdoch: Pugnacious
    Assuming some of you Garofalos work in media it's disheartening and predictable to see you mock and ridicule one of your industry's brightest hopes for a future in digital.

    Not the second round of layoffs at Newseum. At least the third- but don't ask me how I know. They'll come after me but they won't kill me. They'll just force me to watch their "4D" movie until my eyes are pinwheels and I'm sobbing on the floor like Nellie Bly's asylum-mates.

    Is it more than a little scary that NPR is just catching up to the world of pop culture and now finds Justin T'lake dreamy? It's like awakening a Kraken after 15 years hungry for Pizza Bagels and new episodes of Blossom.

    With the exception of Keith Kelly and Michael Riedel (yup I'm gay) I stopped reading anything but the headlines in the NY Post years ago. The Wall Street Journal? I think about once every six month I click a link from mediabistro that directs me to their paywall.

    I'm not exactly crying in my cookies about losing Murdoch's "expensive and distinguished" journalism.

    Rupert has extended his time on earth by drinking the blood of virgins and munching on freeze-dried placenta. But this might not be enough as he moves towards 80.

    The money for Billboard is in the charts, not the publication, if I understand it correctly. Perhaps he'll quit publishing the mag and turn it into a sales-analysis company directly marketing its services to interested parties (record companies, etc). At least that's what I would do. But then, I'm sitting on my bed in cut-offs in the middle of the day, so what do I know?
