Clipped

After 21 months on the job, the fate of Dominick Prizzi has descended upon L.A. Times publisher David Hiller. A car pulls up, a guy gets out....he doesn't even hear it. I don't mean to sound cavalier about all the pain that's going around in Dead Tree-ville. Pain, in fact, is probably too mild a term for what some people are experiencing and feeling. And I'm very sorry. But so many people are getting zotzed it's a little bit like a gangster movie, admit it.

Oh, we're all day to day, here in the waning days of newsppaer journalism.

I'm just waiting for the day I'm "made," like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

Just like they failed to realize that putting an oil man in the White House would not be good for their gas budget at some inevitable point, the average person just doesn't realize what Zell and others are doing to newspapers is pretty much slipping a stiletto into heart of democracy right now.

And by the time people wake up to what is being lost, it will be long too late.

Way to go, Phreek, you win the clueless award for the day. I'm assuming you agree with nancy botox that we can't drill for oil domestically (it's better to let the chinese drill off Cuba)
supply and demand is a hard concept for some people to grasp.

"it's better to let the chinese drill off Cuba"

Yeah, why can't the damned Democrats be more like Cuba and allow drilling right off our coast? And why can't the god damned Democrats have the same sense of the non-neccessity of environmental protection as the Chinese! Good, salient point that you made right there, mr. mystery.

Vietnam is going to be hauling oil out of Iraq. Where's the justice in that?

Jesus, how many trolls are there here?

Dear genius internet user mrmystery, there are about a hundred bad reasons for offshore drilling in America and zero good ones. Do three minutes of research rather than vomiting Sean Hannity talking points.

Also "Nancy Botox" isn't clever at all and anyone who uses retarded schoolyard nicknames to describe any politician, regardless of their party affiliation, is a child.

Mgmax - are you asking before or after I read a daily paper cover to cover. Or my alt weekly? Or the occasional magazine article? Or the 2 or 3 nonfiction books a month?

mrmystery - I think you just elbowed me out of the way in your rush to to grab that bad boy for yourself. But be nice, you can share it with Mgmax.
