The views presented on this site in no way reflects those of my employer, family, friends, acquaintances or distant cousins as these generally fall into three categories: the smart ones that agree with me, those that tolerate me because of my wit, charm, great intellect and modesty, and those who think that I'm a raving wingnut who's one Kennedy away from going medieval on the next vegan moonbat that barks.
I do not do links for the sake of reciprocity. I link only to those sites that I read and I only read RSS feeds. Feel free to send me a link to your site and I'll take a look. If I like it, and if you have a feed, I'll add you to my blogroll.

The Standard & Poor's Rating Services has downgraded the New York Times corporate credit rating to junk status.
S&P says it downgraded the rating because it believes that a "likely" economic recession in the United States would worsen ad revenues for at least a year.
S&P says a recession would prolong, possibly until 2010, the time it would take for ad revenues to reach "more manageable rates of decline."
Also on Thursday, the company reported a 51.4% decline in third-quarter profit.
I'd like to think that this is a just reward for skewed, poorly edited "news" reporting, but it's just a sign of the times.
