The only magazines I buy nowdays are the kind that you load cartridges into. The higher capacity the better.

Warner will probably get at least $400 or $500 for Time, if the negotiate real hard.

Does this mean Obama will go from being on the cover of Time to every week from the current every other week? LOL! Die Time, NewsWeak, NY Times, Wa Po.

Wouldn’t that just toast the kids. But in reality Rupert is smarter than to try and resurect a dying publication when the entire industry is in its death throws.

Irving, Texas based Kimberely-Clark, manufacturers of toilet paper and disposable diapers, might make an offer.

Can't think of anyone else who would be interested.

Wow, the story doesn’t even mention Time magazine. Guess they thought even mentioning the name would kill the deal.

I know. You’re right, but it is fun to speculate what some of those leftist journalists would be doing.

Public relations specialists for ACORN who wouldn’t piss off Beck during a simple interview. It was that show that sealed my admiration for Beck’s style because he drew out the hate inside the fake smiles and soft voice of the dufus who brought this whole thing down on the ACORN/SEIU/COI criminal enterprise.
