I have never been able to get around the name of this place: "a radiant light around the head" has never made me feel the least bit peckish. Also makes me think of lady nips; ditto.
are all the laid off folks invited too? If not I think they should all show up and press their faces against those "big windows looking out on 42nd street"
They have to keep up appearances, impress their sources, and, you know, all the other reasons why it's more important to throw a big, expensive party than save that $100k and keep the positions of two editorial assistants.
The Fairchild, Golf Digest, bridal, and digital groups can party in splendor at the McDonald's at 42nd and Broadway. There will be balloons! #condenast

Notwithstanding what the Post says, Sheehan isn't really a crisis PR guy - he's more of a media/debate trainer. Also, he's usually only on board for a day or two and then goes away to another client. #christmasiscanceled
Lo, in these PC times, the problem with canceling Christmas lunch is that you then have to cancel Hanukkah tea and Ramadan happy hour. #christmasiscanceled
@If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Well, I had a good reason: To cancel Kwanzaa would be to violate kujichagulia* (self-determination, in Swahili), which just seems like a really mean thing to do at Christmastime.
*No, I totally and completely did not look that up on Wikipedia. #christmasiscanceled
After how many years of cancellations does it become the former Xmas lunch, the onetime Xmas lunch, the Xmas lunch of a bygone era, the Xmas lunch of ad budgets past, etc? #christmasiscanceled
Cocktail party? Man, this is why you wanna work in NYC. In DC, all the think tanks that cancel their xmas parties replace them with "Economic Forums." #christmasiscanceled
I'm sure those who were laid off will appreciate the irony of a hefty salary being paid to a flack who will try to mitigate the image damage done by the layoffs. #christmasiscanceled
Here's a thought, for all the CEOs running around hiring consultants to help figure out how to economize during the recession: cut the salaries of your top (most likely overpaid) employees, including yourself, and stop wasting money on consultants... #christmasiscanceled
I absolutely love that sculpture. But I wonder - how often did Si even look at it? Which home did he stash it in? Was he viewing it as the world burned over the last year, coming to it for solace as another person might in times of distress?
How odd that by virtue of something's value - $20 million, a sum only a true plutocrat could spend on a single piece of art - it became less precious in terms of the daily appreciation it could have received from its owner. #sinewhouse
@BadUncle: Yep. That man still falls but Si is back on two feet. It's like the figure is eternally falling for the sins of the publishing world. #sinewhouse
