The Phoenix reports that the Globe needs to jettison about fifty employees this month, if they can't get them via a buy-out then stronger measures will be taken.
Well this is a sad sad comedown for a great regional news powerhouse with a fistful of Pulitzers on it's wall. At the end of the day Humble Elias fears the Globe will become little more than a Shopper and an uninteresting one at that.
As I said, sad.
***
I wonder if Joanie Vennochi will take the buy-out? I wonder if any of the bigger op-ed names will take the hint?
I don't think Joanie would be missed if she made for the lifeboats and chanced all in the open sea....she hardly belongs on the Op-Ed page of the Globe anyway.
To be a political columnist you have to have an opinion, Joanie doesn't have any or even one to speak of, she has resentments.
And the era of resentments is drawing to a close mah frenz, politics is destiny once again with a lot more at stake than mere personal hypocrisy on the part of individual politicians.
Maybe it's time for Joanie to write a novel or something, a expose of a hypocritical liberal democrat, get it out of her system once and for all.
