    So the same day my shop lays off 30 people, we run a front-page story about a locally based bank that lays off 70. Yet no published word on our blood-letting, a week before Christmas no less. I was told we're trying to sweep it under the rug. Fuckers.

    Despite what Mr. Churchill said, be sure the competition/TV stations know about the layoffs...
    We, the media, suck when it comes to reporting bad news amongst ourselves...

    "Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk."

    Were we a tad fat? I suppose. Thing is, the middle-management fucks were spared. I guess the poor timing was an accounting gig for the books at the end of the year.
