LoveHandles: I totally agree, but Gawker is in love with JA because she generates more hits than substantive topics.

So, let me get this straight: In 2008 I'm supposed to be both muscley and passionate but with character, walk with my balls swaggering around, have sex that's both fast and deep (but with emotions set on medium) and most importantly be STIMULATING TO THE EYE.

Ok, got it.

STIMULATING THE EYE is one of my favorite yo-yo moves.

@joshfriedlander: I'd say that Sam Zell is more interesting and news worthy (to the media followers) than pitiful Julia Allison.

And yet he is right about the LAT design issues and they have a monster amount of content online that is nearly impossible to find. Nick, you don't let us change the Gawker Logo everyday? Uh, put that one in the suggestion box.

Everytime I spend some time on the LAT website I think I have just discovered a new online news source. Calendar Live being the skitzoid winner in that regard.

@Knucklehead Babylon: Yes, yes. But what about swagger? Is swagger not important?

@LoveHandles: Then you'll need to start cultivating your use of the phrase "gut check" rapidement.

Glen Frey, we hardly knew ye:

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights

You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your blood, it's in your moves
You're a man of the street

In Sam Zell's defense, he's in real estate. He's probably not familiar with this kind of corporate Successories crapola. Or that this stuff, if it ever was effective, stopped being so in about 1988.

This quote works just as well if you replace "city" with "donut."
