It's All the Same, Only the Names Will Change

Congratulations to Mr. Andrew Tuegel for correctly naming "Lovers in Japan" by Coldplay as the Monday Song of the Day.

As more and more newspapers teeter on the edge of financial ruin, Michael Hirschorn of The Atlantic offers some interesting thoughts on the possibly forthcoming end of print journalism as we know it.

If you’re hearing few howls and seeing little rending of garments over the impending death of institutional, high-quality journalism, it’s because the public at large has been trained to undervalue journalists and journalism. The Internet has done much to encourage lazy news consumption, while virtually eradicating the meaningful distinctions among newspaper brands.

"End Times" by Michael Hirschorn of The Atlantic.

Is that Jay-Z sporting the glasses at the :34 mark? And what is Ricky Gervais looking so smug about?

Andrew,

I can confirm that the be-spectacled gentleman at the :34 mark is, in fact, the Jigga-Man himself.

As far as the apparent smugness of Ricky Gervais goes, well, only he can answer that question.

P.S. Still waiting for the insightful Premiership analysis - you'd better gloat about the top of the table before the red devils play all those games in hand.

I find it exceedingly bizarre that a Chelsea fan is using Man U to talk trash. Maybe he's just depressed about the sad state of affairs that all the stockbrokers and yuppies are witnessing at the Bridge. From what I'm reading, Big Phil on the brink of going not-so-quietly into the West London night after a bust up with Nicholas Anelka. I'm sorry, but if a club is siding with Anelka over you, you might have made a disastrous career choice somewhere along the way.

My goodness, I leave the friendly confines of Running Down a Dream for 3 hours, and this is what happens?

Here's the thing: After the whipping that the Red Devils handed out to the Blues on Sunday, he's just giving the Stockholm Syndrome answer.
