How can we be sure that this is true? After all, it's coming out of the New York Times.

Terrible Two

Jayson Strikes Back!
Or would you call this "collateral damage"?

"I've decided to resign for personal reasons. Personally, I'd rather quit than get fired."

Promoting on promoteability instead of ability = seeing your brand name dragged through the mud :) I'm sure there'll be a mastercard commercial on that sooner or later.

Three holes in the ground.

I have got to get back to work.

Investigative reporting from the Boston Globe revealed that Raines had never actually showed up for work at the New York Times. He dispatched numerous confidential executive memos via email from a variety of locations, giving the illusion that he was actually working for the Times, but it could not be verified that he ever actually worked there.

An undisclosed source linked Raines' retirement announcement to the mysterious disappearance of the ubiquitous beanbag moose so beloved of management gurus at the New York Times. "Without the moose, we're all feeling very unsettled...it's sort of like there's a...well, a big moose in the room and no one's talking about it", the source is quoted as saying. Rumors of hazing incidents involving the moose are starting to surface in the wake of Mr. Raines' sudden departure. Times insiders expect that there will be more disturbing revelations in the weeks to come.

Hey, say what you want, but don't blame the Moose. The Moose was innocent. The Moose's management style was working. Long Live the Moose.

This is a day that breaks my heart," Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger told staffers at a morning newsroom meeting. "But we must go on. Today I am naming Mr Moose as the acting managing editor. This move will demonstrate the Times continued commitment to employee diversity."

When asked for comment, a naked PETA representative (apparently protesting some other issue at the time) said "Far Out....Its about Da*n Time that animals got the recognition that they deserve."

SRG - Jayson Strikes Back!
Or would you call this "collateral damage"?

Hmmmm, I smell a liberal conspiracy theory here ... Jayson Blair was in fact a suicide bomber sent by Bush to discredit the NY Times which had been critical of his administration. If Hillary hurries, she could include this in her book in the chapter about the vast Right Wing conspiracy.

Long Live Editor in Chief Moose.

Perhaps they're planning to join the blogosphere.

Jayson, Isn't he the guy with the funny hat (or mask or something) and the long knife in Friday the 13th?? That's what I get for not letting my kids watch those kinds of shows when they were growing up. The New York Times reminds me of the Abbott and Costello skit about "Whos on First"!

Is leaving "to spend more time with the family" anything like checking into a Beverly Hills clinic "for exhaustion"?

Update: In its never-ending quest to live up to its reputation of journalistic integrity while promoting diversity in the workplace, the NYT has hired the revered Al Sharpton to replace Mr. Raines. Senator Robert Byrd has announced his retirement from the Senate to take the place of Mr. Boyd. "We really feel we can work together to take the NYT to heights it has only dreamed of up until now", said a joint memo from the new publishing "Dynamic Duo".

My reverse side has been amused away extremely by your poem, FMM!

Did you see the "All your Iraq are belong to U.S." thing a while back?

Hey, say what you want, but don't blame the Moose. The Moose was innocent. The Moose's management style was working. Long Live the Moose.

I agree that the moose was effectiveóbut only at attracting ridicule. If the higher-up at NY Times were not under the influence of second-hand marijuana smoke they would have chosen a less juvenile talisman like, say, a flying squirrel.

Once again a venerable institution of America has become distracted from its original and very useful purpose by a liberal social engineering project and has paid the price. When will they learn that government is to govern, businesses are to provide a return on captial, social clubs are for the entertainment of their members, charities are to provide releif to the needy and religion is for the aid and comfort of the faithful. Liberal tinkering with the institutions of this country and others have brought them all to rack and ruin. And now the great liberal institution of the New York Times. What goes around, comes around.

and apparently, spell-checkers are for those who can't spell.

Perhaps it's not too late to get Jayson Blair back to replace Boyd!

Howell Raines penned this story just before leaving:

N.Y. Times, I have just had a personel interview with Hillary Rodham Clinton in which Mrs. Clinton stated, "Howell, I am pleased to meet you! Much of my recent book was told with the same truth and integrety, I learned from reading your paper. I have found in my political life, that you can, 'fool most of the Democrats, MOST of the time', as long as it is in print, AND you know how to 'copy and paste'!

I guess I went off on a tangent there, sorry, but I know you don't mind, everyone just LOVES listening to me! Now, some MORE about 'ME'! I have just come from a private reading with Miss Cleo, and she has told me that my book, 'Living History', will sell 50 million copies, IN HARDBACK! Eat your heart out Bill O'Reilly!

I was so excited, so I asked her to tell me more. She told me that I WOULD be elected President in 2004, after a 11 hour entry into the race, and a 'messy' scandel involing Bush! Then in 2006, the people would rise up and demand that I become Queen of America! Shortly after my Coronation, I have Bill beheaded, which unbelievably, endears me to, EVEN the Republicans/Conservatives!

I am going back tomorrow to see Miss Cleo, with my ghost writer staff, to start my sequel, 'Living HER-story, the Back to the Future Years'!"

This just in: Perry White, editor of the Daily Planet, announced today that ace reporter Lois Lane has been filing stories with fictitious content. Mr. White was "shocked and saddened" to learn that all the stories filed by Ms. Lane concerning a so-called "Superman" were falsified. One of Ms. Lane's colleagues, Mr. Clark Kent commented, "A flying bullet-proof man in tight? And you're just now finding out she made it up? Gimme a break!"
Ms. Lane could not be reached for comment, but her literary agent did announce that Ms. Lane would be publishing a tell-all book titled "Suckers!"
Stay tuned for more details.

well, you know what they say about men in tights...

Hmmm, no, not really. Which they?

Oh yeah, I looked up "All your Iraq are belong to U.S." lol.

FMM

Yeah - the intro was funny. I almost died when Bush said "You have no chance to survive - make your time".... Don't really know why, but thinking about that vs. the original version always cracks me up. After that it got a bit repetitive.

On the tights thing: that was SRG talking about the "Men in Tights" song from Mel Brooks' Robin Hood.
