Shorter Glenn: Capitalism works, except when it doesn’t work for us. Then it kinda sucks.

Unless you have tenure for a state government job. Heh. Indeed.

Right on! That Gwen Ifill has just dominated television for such a long time now — it’s like she’s the only person we ever hear talking about anything. I guess we should have known when Russert died it would be Ifill who’d fill that void…

Who knew that Condi’s friend would turn out to be such a terrible commie influence on our entire culture?

Glenn’s whole screed is delusional. One the other hand, thanks Tbogg for the info on Faux News. Looks like the Faux Business Network is also a drain on the Murdoch wallet.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

the New York Post seems to be doing fine.

wrong. wrong. wrong. if it wasn’t for the deep pockets of the aussie sugar daddy:

New York Post
Purchased: In 1976 for $30 million
Sold: In 1988 for $37.6 million
Re-purchased: In 1993 for $25 million
Bottom line: Circulation has grown, but the paper, often described as a guilty second read for upscale Manhattanites, is a perennial money loser.

(A 2005 Business Week story put that number between $15 and $30 million a year.)

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Glennie, you must be” – she always called me Glennie – “In this world, Glennie, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.” I found a third option – I became a Republican.

Actually, I’m guessing most of them have never even considered the possibility that they’ll get shut down if he dies. I would put money on most of them being convinced A) of their vital importance in the fight to save the country which *of course* everyone is aware of, and B) that they make a fabulous profit because the country is full of people who agree with them and support them as a lonely outpost of brave conservative thought in a world awash with PC fascists.

Self-awareness is not the strong suit over there.

If old heh-indeedy wants to put his money where his mouth is, he can take his banjo down to the nearest street corner and do a little busking for the cause. Let’s see what gets tossed into the hat.

You know, in a way, I’m seeing An American Carol as a sort of back-handed tribute to Michael Moore, because the premise of the movie is that the Moore-manque gets converted to the conservative cause; it’s almost heartbreaking that a tired old hack would spend an entire movie fantasizing that the Oscar-winning lefty documentarian would switch sides.

Wait, did I say “almost heartbreaking”? I meant “pathetic.”

Ruppert Murdoch sinks $3 million a year into The Weekly Standard without any hope on any return

The New York Post loses money every year too.

I’ve been hearing a radio ad for David “I used to be funny with my brother and the other guy” Zucker’s wingnut “comedy” “An American Carol” this week. The most notable thing about the ad is that it doesn’t feature any actual audo from the movie itself. Just a lot of hokum about feeling good and Amurrica and stuff like that. Certainly, this will bring out the paying folks in droves this weekend.
