Ho, ho, ho!
ReplyDeleteIs it Sunday already....
ReplyDeleteAre you still taking a break?
ReplyDeleteI still want to know if anyone else ever heard Phil Currie perform Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech. What was Currie's purpose?
ReplyDelete12:55 He did what? When? Click my name if you like to hear me do it.
ReplyDeleteThere is no Jim Hopkins. Tara Connell just looks incredibly good in drag.
ReplyDeleteGannett Blog is all a corporate plant to find out, from the peons, who the worst managers in the company are.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
So I visited USAT.com this morning and as I wasn't logged in as a member, I got a flashing weather alert for McLean, Virginia. Seems like there might be a little freezing rain, less than 1/10 inch coming to the Crystal Palace. Temperatures around 32 degrees.
ReplyDelete[Checking my Wisconsin weather forecast: "Wind chill readings are expected to remain between 20 and 30 below through much of today. Wind chills this low can cause frost bite in as little as 30 minutes." Right now, 6am: -7 actual + 18 mph wind = -30 wind chill.]
My question - why can't USAT.com pick up my zip code and localize that weather? Heck, every porn site I visit tells me about all these hotties looking for action in my city without me inputting my location, shouldn't USAT be able to get that info as well?
Local local local!
Finally received pension paperwork. I left Gannett (voluntarily) on Oct. 2. Technically the benefits office has 45 days to get it to you. But that 45 days only starts when HR tells them you left. In my case, HR didn't mention it to them until Nov. 24. So it took less than 30 days to get me my letter. It should take 3-5 weeks to get my money, although they point out that they process them in the order in which they are received, so I might be in line behind a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteGlobal warming is apparently here.
ReplyDeleteAnd so is Larry St. Cyr.
Oh.
Give me a beer.
Go Larry Go.
ReplyDeleteThe New Jersey group never ceases to provide valuable material.
ReplyDeleteC-N Community Life lead today, complete with Page-1 blurb ...
Top brass
Franklin resident has played with the greats -- including Frank Sinatra
Jump page includes this sidebar ...
In Honolulu, Herwig knew 'Barry' Obama
Here's a musician who once knew the President-elect of the United States ... and it's less important than a tie-in with Sinatra. Ol' Blue Eyes died 10 years ago! Even to a longtime newspaperman like me that's ancient history.
Face it, the C-N has gotten clueless -- and this is the most obvious example of several from the Sunday paper.
Can't agree with you on the critique of the C-N. Sinatra is a NJ native (Hoboken) and The Voice of 20th Century music. For NJ readership, the Sinatra angle trumps the other.
ReplyDelete12:12, if the guy played with Sinatra and just knew the pres-elect as Barry, it is more relevant. Sounds like the story is about his music chops, and it's a community life piece.
ReplyDeleteHad it been Clinton and his sax, then it could have made the first part of the story.
Just because a guy is president doesn't make him important to every story. That's why this factoid hit the sidebar. Heck, I'm in finance and I know that.
Time for Gannett stock to take another beating. The future of Gannett was yesterday.
ReplyDeleteForget Larry St. Cyr ! It's Gannettholio to the Rescue
