internet killed the printed book star

that was horribly not clever but anyway ... i'm working on something about scholarships and one that is sponsored by a textbook company asks in its essay: "What is the future of the printed book?"
answer: there will be no future if you keep giving away $2,000 for stupid essays.

speaking of the death of print. this grazergate nonsense is basically a waste of time. if you non-journo types (or even those in the business) have either 1) no idea what's going on, or 2) no idea why it's a big deal, that would be because it's the stupidest thing in the world to get in a tizzy about. and the editor resigned because of it.

what is the damage done anyway? has the LATimes lost its objectivity b/c the editor's gf's boss's friend's cousin's mother-in-law got brian grazer to guest edit a page in the newspaper? what's the conflict anyway? that they're "favoring" grazer b/c of these connections? maybe they're favoring him because he's a celebrity in his own right and is 1,000 times more influential than this flailing, self-important newspaper that needs to scrape out the bundle of panties up its ass. i mean, this guy is an executive producer for 24, and with one swift penstroke, can reaffirm for millions of americans that torture, as long as jack bauer does it, is OK.

anyways, LATimes, you've got bigger problems brewing (or are they overflowing already?) take a lap and get your head in the game.
