For sure... my daughter is a huge K-Pop fan, and JongHyun was her guy. I’m just waiting until she logs on her phone at lunch and sees this... such a talented artist, you’re right.

As a journalist: ditto.

Even better when you know EXACTLY where he’s “going with this,” he KNOWS you know, and is left scrambling to try to make it sound innocent.

Mine too. Drugs plus, apparently, a long, long battle with depression and anxiety.

I’d be willing to go, grab a large popcorn and then go sit in my car playing on my phone while my family goes to see Titanic. They love it; good for them. I don’t get it!

In all fairness, it WAS about a paper company in Scranton PA — so about a decade behind felt about right to me. (I’m from the area. Don’t hate on me.)

Please don’t defile Cookie Crisp like that.

That’s OK. I’m sure there’s still an assistant or two to blame it on, as he did with security clearance omissions.

Also contemplating what it’s like to have a house in which, to study a painting, you need binoculars and a ladder...

... I notice our own age gap (12 years) when I watch him slowly text with his left index finger — he’s right-handed — punching at those letters like it’s a pre-electric typewriter. :)

He pledged to Sandy relief as well... they’re still waiting....

Yeah, well, he managed to make his church website a place where people could donate money to flood victims: He certainly knew how to do *that*.... act as a middleman for money (So he and Lakewood get the credit and good optics of “helping” without the, you know, actual GIVING of church or personal resources).

Someone would like to discuss this with the Chateau. He doesn’t believe changing a single letter in the name of the hotel is enough to avoid infringing on his trademark: And he was there first.

Yep... most of them would probably support at-will employment policies for everyone else (“At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability” per nscl.org), so... bye-bye.

... and you don’t schedule meetings and invite campaign managers when it’s a ‘nothing’ email, either.

You know, if ever a dog was going to take on a coyote and win, it would be a small dog (or, perhaps, a cat). We have dogs both large and small, and I would put serious money on the small dog to win over a coyote every time (and our cat to emerge victorious in a 4-way battle. He doesn’t mess around).

Re Celine: I stopped reading after this: “...dancing and curtseying and generally gesticulating sans abandon...” because nothing else could possibly have measured up to that phrase.

The Twitter account @dalton_baril is no longer active (I’m gonna assume it’s his), but Google brings up his Tweet of “Romans 8:31" — which happens to be

This is what I’ve tried to explain to people, after many years on the inside of this industry, print media: At a time when profits are thin, if nonexistent; when journalists have gone years without raises; as they’ve watched round after round of layoffs cast off colleagues and entire editorial departments and…
