Reading this story first thing in the morning, especially while listening to Bill Bennett's Morning In America's discussion of movies that are quintessentially American, i.e., spirit of America, is the best way to start the day!

"THE New York Times' news room is bracing for a bloodbath in the next 10 days.

The word from inside is that approximately 50 unionized journalists have accepted the buyout proposal, and only another 20 non-union editorial employees have gotten on board.

That means the ax could fall on as many as 30 editorial people in the company's first-ever mass firing of journalists in its 156-year history.

Executive Editor William Keller had said originally that he was looking to cut 100 people from the Times staff in response to the dismal newspaper advertising environment."

Short of seeing these people in jail for crimes against the state, it's definitely poetic justice to hear about this "blood bath"!
