TL;DR = CH rules and don't fuck with col mccormick.



Jews running wild in Tribune Tower? The horror, the horror.



Good thing the Italians are in charge now.

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I think there was a definite element of making sure Randy Michaels failed with Merlin Media, but I'm not sure he needed the help. FM News was sort of a good idea in terms of having a news radio station on the FM side, but positioning it as news radio for women whose delicate ladybrains couldn't process the big serious voices talking big serious stories on WBBM was offensively dumb and ensured his failure. He then buried himself even deeper by trying to pre-record the news/weather/traffic updates, but apparently their board ops were even more retarded than the ones who work at the Score, because they'd run traffic reports from previous hours and weather reports from previous days.

So while it's a little perverse that Feder has been obsessively cackling over every Randy Michaels misstep up to 101.1 going back to alternative like nothing happened (I mean, it's hardly as if Robert Feder had spent two and a half years lamenting that he can't hear Smashing Pumpkins), I can't feel too sorry for the guy. He was Bad At Radio. His defenders, wherever they are, always say something like "Randy really loves radio, he knows radio. If you mention a set of call letters, he can tell you where that station is and what their format is." Okay, he memorized callsigns, but he's still an idiot. That's like saying that you have great people skills because you read a phonebook: not only does this not denote the skill you think you have, it fundamentally decreases the likelihood that you have that skill.

I'm confused. Did playing amateur sports thicken Mac's skin...or was it a book he read in 2007? :?

"Drama Of The Gifted Child" by Dr. Alice Miller. Published first in '79 but it stands up. I bought a copy for Marc Silverman years ago and got one for Spiegel last fall. I don't think either has read it yet.

Not sure if it is okay to post but for whomever is interested... I found this link and downloaded this book free in pdf format. Apologies to Biggie if this is a no-no.
