Gawker Questionnaire: Are You A Jew? -
So, how’d you score? Any Orthodox Jews in the house? How’d you do?
If you are a good person and you care about good writing or good editing or good storytelling in news and where it went and if it’s still around and what the future of it is, you will watch this video of Charlie Rose and Peter Kaplan right fucking now, and yes, there will be a quiz later.
[Related: Peter Kaplan’s probably the best dressed editor in the city, or at the very least, makes G-Funk look like even more of an assclown and Keller look like a stiff.

“The lone Republican “Yea” vote for the bill was Joseph Cao of Louisiana, you know he’s gonna get trashcanned after school on Monday.

Meanwhile, the TVs gonna be filled with lots of talking heads tomorrow, many of whom will tell you how utterly fucked this country is, like this guy. People will be mad and people will be sad, and people will be happy and people will be elated, and people get their pockets lined.” — Aaaaaand that’s how you handle breaking news.
Sigh.
Heh.
