Saw this via Twitter. It's from a "luxury" magazine's website:

There's a fascinating twist to JO LEE. And it is this all Encompassing dichotomy driving its success. The Magazine pays not one of its global columnists-feature writers or its 68 editorial staff a fee. Rather, all advertising monies generated are placed into an ENERGY BANK embracing the young, Unsung Heroes with zero possibilities.

For some reason, the notion of not being paid at all made me think of this scene from Goodfellas:

Project Bounce, the now-defunct all-night hip-hop show that ran on CIUT, used to l-u-u-v-v-v running the "gimme the fuckin' money!!" sample from that scene. :)

Allow me to rewrite some of the dialogue to adopt it for writers and journalists:

The Globe and Mail's Ivor Tossell laments that the cool people aren't bellying up to the Twitter bar any more.

Maybe the problem is less with Twitter and more with the cool people.

That's how Gawker described this Washington Post feature on George W. Bush's post-presidential life in Dallas.

I liked this excerpt:

The presidency that is remembered on Daria Place bears little resemblance to the one that most of the country continues to blame for its problems. Bush left Washington on Jan. 20 with two-thirds of Americans disapproving of his job performance -- one of the worst ratings ever for an outgoing U.S. president. In his return to private life, he has maintained tranquility by adhering to a basic philosophy:

He lives squarely in the remaining 33 percent.

Bush works with a dozen aides from his administration, socializes with friends he has known for decades and lives in a conservative neighborhood that voted for him -- both times -- by a ratio greater than 2 to 1. And while the rest of the world mulls and debates his legacy, Bush has told friends that he prefers not to use the "L word."
