Delepp, those 2 were not on my list of 360’s. it’s these firings that I’ve been very generous on my 360’s – ie if it’ll bail some of them from the firing lines.
I was away yesterday when you requested my comments about Sarah Palin’s “Blood Libel” remark.
Let me respond now by simply quoting Alan Dershowitz on the issue, as such:
“The term “blood libel†has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.”
As you well know, Alan Dershowitz is no slouch in calling out anti-Semitism in words and deeds. So basically, that settles the matter for me.

m4l, good luck today. Hope you hadn’t done any 360s on them.
M4L, sorry to hear that. Firings/layoffs are not a fun time.
Benson, seems like our industry has not stop firing since the internet bubble bursted.
Oh, I forgot to say: good morning to all. M4L: sorry to hear the news.
Slopey;
Are you out there?
