<< WE ARE A TASTY SNACK ~ MAIN ~ DEMOCRATS ADVISED >>
FINALLY, NYT GENERATES BUZZ
NYT chairman Arthur “Pinchy” Sulzberger calms shareholders:
“This company is not for sale,” Mr. Sulzberger said at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in New York. “This company will continue to have the ownership it enjoys today” …
Mr. Sulzberger drew a laugh when he joked about a bee buzzing around his head, saying the insect was one of the joys of having a garden in the company’s towering new headquarters just off Times Square.
Sulzberger should read his own troubled newspaper, which reports that bees are a sign of economic destruction:
In a county with one of the nation’s highest foreclosure rates, empty houses have attracted a new type of nonpaying tenant: bees.
Better double-check on that bee, I reckon it’s a fly, circling a rotting corpse.

As my grandmother was fond of sayin’, “He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall go untooteth.” Which makes me and Wronwright a couple of air-raid sirens, I reckon.
I thought all the bees were dead because of Global Warming?

Heck, I just had to feed one of the cats to one so I could get out of the parking lot this morning… Oh wait, that’s tomorrow. (Yes, the cat peed on the bed again. She knows I’m up to no good—I’ve got a job, see, so now I leave the house every day; NOT allowed—so she takes revenge. Well let’s see who gets the last laugh when someone wakes up inside a gator’s belly…)
Where was I? Eh, it’s not so bad. At least I’m out of Miami—that’s the first circle of Florida’s hells.

Yeah, well, this is America after all.

NYT Publisher Pinch Sulzberger
Offers a Typically Thoughtful
Observation: It Doesn’t Stink!
What poet can express in words
The beauty of my daily turds,
Or the scent that sweetly lingers
On my long and nimble fingers?
I breathe the aromatic bowl
And it so deeply fills my soul
That when I flush, it breaks a spell,
And mournfully, I bid farewell.
