Next book on the stack is "Columbine" by Dave Cullen. I'm prepared to be horrified.

Just finished reading Michael Connolly's "The Overlook." Not as good as the early Harry Bosch novels, but still worth the time.

@Pistachio Really? There's beauty in war, murder & torture? And to find it you just have to believe?#stillwetblanket

Busy weekend ahead - capped by a resounding win by the Pats over the lowly Jets. #feelingcocky

Why do so many social media types resort to eye-rolling platitudes? Must we clog up blog posts and Twitter with the trite and meaningless sayings like "Life is beautiful!" "LIfe is a process of change!" or "Death is part of life." UGH!

@Pistachio That's a platitude. Life is complex. While it can be beautiful it can be ugly and scary as well. #wetblanket

@shelisrael It's a retail term. Because the day after Thanksgiving is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year.

@derekbrookmeyer And my father would argue that no Thanksgiving table is complete w/ turnips. @bhaber602

@ceberle I heard that this morning! Thanks for the link!

14,500. The # of journalists laid-off this year. Welcome to the Great Media Collapse of 2009: http://hightalk.net/2009...

@MikeMcGrail The old days don't exist anymore.

What food item - other than turkey - is crucial for a Thanksgiving dinner? My answer: cranberry sauce. What's yours?

@zaibatsu Will you take cash?

MediaBistro has collected the departing tweets from fired BusinessWeek reporters: http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbow... Good luck to them all!

@MikeMcGrail I have never looked back since leaving journalism in 1999. Writing was on the wall even back then.

Looks like there's big layoff today over at BusinessWeek. If the rumors are true Bloomberg cut a lot of terrific reporters.

RT @stevebaker: After 23 years, I'm done at BusinessWeek. Nov 30 is my last day. http://thenumerati.net/index... (Good luck, Steve!)

Curious. Do you use an email signatures? What do you display there? Are they important? Give your feedback: http://hightalk.net/2009...

Wow. @swildstrom from BusinessWeek just tweeted that he's out of a job when BW gets gobbled by Bloomberg. What are they thinking?

My prediction: Pats clobber the Jets by more than three touchdowns. Randy Moss scores at least two of them. Jets Coach Rex Ryan is mistaken for a beach ball and gets batted around the stands as AC/DC's "Hells Bells" crank through the Gillette speakers.
