    I went to a 5K sponsored by Ted's restaurant last week and Captain Planet was there. In rollerblades. It was creepy and awesome at the same time. #tedturner

    I think it's funny that it took them YEARS to kill the turner.com domain from CNN employees' email addresses, despite them having shitcanned Ted way back in the day.


    Come to think of it - is the turner.com domain actually dead???

    Ted Turner's fortune was rebuilt after he invented 5 Hour Energy and Trucknutz. Don't cry for him.

    Picking on Lou Dobbs? Why doesn't he just go kick some puppies?


    I like this quote from the article: "My father said, 'Son, when the communists take over, they're going to shoot everyone with more than 50 dollars.' And for 30 years I never carried more than 49 dollars."


    They're coming for you ted, and its not for the $49 dollars, it's for 2 million acres of walking buffalo burgers.

    I can see what Elizabeth Dewberry saw in him. He not only has frank wit and the power to unclog life-threatening intestinal blockages.

    Time Warner's worst decision - merging with AOL. Time Warner's second worst decision - not signing Ted Turner to a non-disparagement agreement.

    "Cows don't fall in the holes. That's a bunch of beans."


    That is, perhaps, the best thing said by anyone, ever, about anything. Sorry, Augustine!

    @BookishLookish: Actually, I've known about it for years from someone who actually saw the tape while working for one of Larry Flynt's magazines. When the book came out it was just corroborating evidence.

    @Macloserboy: There was a very, very glowing biography of Larry F. that ran on a Turner TV station right after talk of this tape surfaced. That's how LF works--he doesn't ask for money to shut up, he asks for favors. And gets them.

    Ted Turner is great. Anyone remember the press conference where he had a bottle of whiskey on the table in front of him, blocking the camera shots? Someone took it and put it under the table. Ted then went down on his knees and disappeared under the table mid-press conference and retrieved it. The guy is a true old sailor, and I love those.

    The only thing nuts about Ted Turner is the mustache. Everything else is merely eccentric, much like Howard Hughes wearing Kleenex boxes as shoes.
