  1. Excuse the long gap in Twittering. Computer crash, then had to do an e-mail pitching idea to an editor.
  2. @cnhifrankfort Excellent report, sir! Read it at the Corbin paper. Do you live in Kentucky?
  3. @kill_truck Did you see I linked you in roundup?
  4. @itsonlywords Including smoke breaks, LOL. But 400 wds/hr = 3,200 wds/8hr day. Theoretically: 50K-wd book = 3 wks?
  5. @itsonlywords True. Writing fast is the key to survival in news biz. I've timed my rate of original composition at 400 wds/hr. - not bad
  6. @itsonlywords Cops and teachers = govt jobs. Nurses = Medicaid/Medicare. No govt subsidy for journalists (and thank God for that)
  7. @itsonlywords Newspaper reporters, on average, make less than cops, teachers or nurses
  8. @itsonlywords The big names you see on TV news may be rich, but they're the 1% tip of a badly underpaid iceberg
  9. @itsonlywords Reason liberals dominate news biz: Liberals are bad at economics, will work for crappy pay so they can "make a difference"
  10. @itsonlywords If you worked in newspapers, you wouldn't be jealous: "We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us."
  11. HEAR! HEAR! RT @OneFineJay Success for me is outlasting every critic and hater out there
  12. @OneFineJay @bccohan You want to talk "thankful"? Guess who sent me an e-mail, asking me to blog about their editorial?
  13. @bccohan @OneFineJay Crazy to make that career move? My traffic up, up, up. Newspaper circulation down, down, down. Who's crazy now?
  14. @OneFineJay @bccohan So when I gripe about traffic, it ain't "whining." This is my freaking career we're talking about.
  15. @OneFineJay @bccohan So I didn't come to the blogosphere with the idea of failing. Success was mandatory.
  16. @bccohan @OneFineJay Remember, I spent 22yrs in newspapers, rising from 6K/wkly circulation (Ga.) to 110K/daily (WashTimes)
  17. @OneFineJay Everybody can relate @LegalInsurrection calls it Blogger Mood Disorder
  18. YOU MUST FOLLOW @SoccerSealUSA - she just needs 32 to pass the 1,000 mark! [] PLZ Re-Tweet! #tcot #teaparty #glennbeck
  19. @itsonlywords Internet not broken. Just slow. Who knows? Today may be the day I finally get re-Tweeted by @Alyssa_Milano
