  • MOONIES ON ICE: The Washington Moonie Times newspaper of Washington is firing everyone. EVERYONE! That means the president & publisher, CFO, and chairman. What person in a company can fire a president, publisher, CFO, and chairman? Perhaps the great great Rev. Moon himself?! Editor John Solomon will probably peace the fuck out of there soon, too.

So what, they’re going to assemble all the employees out on the Mall and marry them to pink slips?

Forget it, Jake. It’s Koreatown.

What? Oh. Well never mind then.

I’m glad that, as a COBOL programmer maintaining ancient tax software for several counties in South Dakota, I am immune to layoffs.

Via TPM:
the announcement of the promotion of Jonathan Slevin to the posts of acting publisher and president of the Washington Times comes just one day after the paper admitted that Slevin himself selected the person who wrote the paper’s glowing book review of a book he coauthored, in violation of newspaper policy.

From the review:

“Clash of the Gods” should be read by all members of the next presidential administration. It truthfully details the hell for which America is bound because its leaders ignored George Washington’s above-noted advice and followed a politically expedient road that has put Americans and their economy in the thrall of several foreign countries and a flamboyantly traitorous domestic fifth column, each ready to manipulate and undermine the United States if it suits their interests.

If the Times shuts down what will assholes read?

They needed a shakeup — the quality of shit they’ve been making up hasn’t been up to their usual high standards lately.

“I’ve been told that Solomon’s considering his options at the paper from his cabin in western Virginia.”

You know what runs through western Virginia, right? The APPALACHIAN TRAIL. Just sayin’ …

Will the unemployed be allowed to panhandle in airports?

Good times.

Please come back to us, Ms. Glover!

Please do remember that Rev. Moon is the Second Coming of Christ — he says so himself.

Soon, the Washington Times, reported and printed from North Korea!

[re=454348]JMP[/re]: [re=454387]StoneAge[/re]: Congratulations Comrade Glover!

“Operation Total Eclipse” appears to be unfolding exactly as planned! Now, grab as many office supplies as you can carry, and get the hell back to Wonkette HQ before you get made.

GO!

[re=454347]shadowMark[/re]: Okay, that was funny. Full marks.

JMP November 9, 2009 at 8:14 pm

[re=454437]Extemporanus[/re]: With an operation name like that, I’m guessing she’ll be joined by an army of football players, ninjas, 50s motorcycle toughs, and flying choir boys with glowing eyes.

I guess D.C. isn’t big enough for two right-wing disinformation publications.

What none of the stories–Post, Politico, AP, Times–explained is just who at a company can one day fire the president, publisher, chief financial officer and chairman of a frickin’ company? Who? Who’s higher on the organizational chart than the president, publisher, chairman and chief financial officer? The owner? Who’s the owner? The overlord? Who is the overlord? Times, and everyone else: Do some basic journalism and explain, like you should explain, who at a company can just come in one day and fire the president, publisher, chairman and chief financial officer of a company? Who? Explain that one.
