Okay, NOW I'm scared RT @BizJournalism Editor & Publisher, the magazine that covers the newspaper industry, shutting down. So says @Poynter
Grard email rash, but HRC guy Googled his occupation. Is it fair to say "not acceptable coming from a new org" ? http://www.downeast.com/media-m...
Oh, it was "some other type of object." #NorwayUFO
Going out on a limb here, but, a day when all your readers are snowed in--maybe not the best day to take your website down for maintenance.
Jack Burkman on CNBC: "I don't think health insurance is expensive. If people can't afford kids, they shouldn't have them." umm . . . WOW
