Going Galt…

Or to put all that more succinctly: “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
Yep, that’s about right.
Jeff Zucker is an Idiot

“Just because someone who mocks authority says something doesn’t make it so,” Zucker said, describing the comedian’s comments as “completely out of line.”
Listen, I get it, you want to defend your network. But don’t go after Stewart. It’s not that he can’t take it or is above criticism, but this is not the fight you want to pick.
Face it: CNBC completely missed the point about what business news is supposed to be about. You don’t pump stocks, you analyze the market. Jim Cramer is not to blame. You are to blame, Mr. Zucker. You’re the one who shaped the strategic vision of a network who can’t spell “journalism”, much less execute it.
I look forward to watching you and your network continue to be lambasted and embarrassed on Comedy Central, because you just hung a huge target out there for Stewart and Co. to take shots at.

You had to read that title twice, didn’t you? Anyway, Mr. Daniels is the hometown boy who made it big and, by all accounts, is a pretty nice guy, too. I always find it interesting to read about him, mostly because of the “yeah, he’s from my town” factor I think, but also because I enjoy his work (and he’s from my town). Check out the profile on Playbill. Oh, and Jeff, if you ever want to play euchre, him me up; we’ll head down to Sietz’s and scare up a game.
