The NYT can’t go the way of Newsweek soon enough to please me. I see that the unphotogenic Jill is embracing an approach young leftists, after they’ve destroyed a business or a political entity, often use in a vain attempt at damage control, which is to pressure older persons go eat worms and die.
Senior editors at the NYT are liberal geeks too, and I hold no brief for them generally. But I do weary of the tyranny of the young, a backbone of leftism. After prayerful consideration, taking into account diplomatic niceties and the requirements of etiquette and good taste, I believe I’ve hit upon the measured response seniors on the NYT need to offer La Abramson, to wit: “BUGGER OFF, TOOTS!!”
On a personal note, I frequently get phone calls where a script-reading woman offers me a subscription to the Times at what I guess are supposed to be attractive rates. To the last caller I said, “You sound like a nice young woman, and don’t take this personally. But I have to tell you that if the NYT started arriving on my front lawn for nothing I would have your circulation manager arrested for littering.”

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

No reason to be polite with the vermin at the NYT

Now why was that the first thing I thought of too?

Hey Larry, you should have added that the NY Times is "shuttering its environmental desk though nobody is losing their jobs as a result."
The NYT is not part of my life, but why is Jill Abramson begging people to quit? The usual liberal response in the office is to call for everyone to take a paycut so no one get fired. OK Jill, show us you care about your fellow human beings. Step up and agree to a 25% pay cut.

Speaking of ESAD, how 'bout them Packers, Jack! They were given a nice lesson in "packing" by the boys from 'Frisco, eh? Something you know all about.

"Unphotogenic!!!!!!!!!!!' That, sir is undoubtedly the most gentle editorial regarding this harridan's comliness ever penned or uttered in her lifetime. Well-played.
