bereavement

• aol eager to be bought .. no shock there
• this is how i think the tina fey discussion went (bear with me):
• hey tina, you look just like palin, can you come back every week and do some skits for us here at SNL
• hey nbc, i'd love to, but have this little other job, the emmy award winning show, 30 rock.  i'm the exec producer and star in i, i really dont have the time, but thanks for thinking of me!  xx oo
• hey tina.. might we remind you of who put you on the map?  with SNL and putting 30 rock on the air in the first place?
• hey nbc, good news!  some time in my schedule just opened up!  i look forward to it
• hey tina, thanks.  sounds great.  also, bear in mind, that we'll want to have you on every week doing this schtick.  we fully expect to bleed it dry, running it over and over.
• hey nbc, no kidding, huh?  i'm loved now, might that risk people getting tired of the character and me?
• hey tina.. we're prepared to take that chance
• tina thinks to herself.. gosh, i hope palin loses.
• now for the bad news.  mets season is over.  cowboys blew it at home.  what a shitty sunday
• EA getting sued over DRM in their new game , spore.
• the credit crunch is hitting home now!  mcdonalds might need to slow down their coffee rollout! 
• ben out tues & wed for rosh.. see ya thursday.  unfortunately that means i'm snug on time..
