That the NY Times is trying to sell their share of the Red Sox is like the guy who was happy that he won the lottery because it meant he could keep his trucking company going a little longer.

“For purely selfish reasons”, I’m happy to see them linger and suffer a bit longer.

2009 will be very interesting as tight money increases the negative impact of their lower subcriptions and advertising.

We will get to read about some really insane outbursts as these formerly elite left wing mediots lose it.

Conservatism's unrepentant new media voice seems to add fuel to the towering rage of progressive liberal socialism. Conservatism using new media to stick its thumb into the eye of Obamanation portends a plethora of kook offerings from the fit to be tied community. LOL.

Sam Zell's year from hell
"Grave dancer" came late to the dance it seems.
Mark Cuban's efforts to buy the company's Chicago Cubs have reportedly been held up because the the loud-mouth billionaire's problems with the SEC.
All these supposed billionaires end up going hat in hand to Wall Street? WTF? It seems to me that by definition a billionaire need only take out his own wallet to buy something that costs a billion.
"Unfortunately, at the same time, factors beyond our control have created a perfect storm -- a precipitous decline in revenue and a tough economy coupled with a credit crisis that makes it extremely difficult to support our debt," he said.
FYI "perfect storm" jumped the shark. "Obamanation" is now the preferred term as in "Unfortunately, at the same time, factors beyond our control have created an Obamanation -- "

In the past decade, it has been easy to provoke insane outbursts from local elite liberals using cutting humor and quotes from the new media.

It will be even easier next year as the MSM takes body blows daily from the economy and payback for their bias.
