WSJquips

  1. Whenever the WSJ gets punchy, I get giddy. The Photoshopped telethon image is riotous, and very un-WSJ. All the better. http://is.gd/N4yN
  2. You know you've made it when the WSJ uses your nickname--Black Swan--and not your actual company name in a headline. http://is.gd/LoZm
  3. Reads like Peggy Noonan. But how hard do you have to work before you can figure out who wrote this Sotomayor pap? http://is.gd/JEFc
  4. Unsure whether to be impressed or terrified by the WSJ using South Park as a way to argue against Obama policies. http://is.gd/EGWW
  5. Any weirdness in the WSJ is welcome, especially in its contractions. "There mightn't be a rush for the exits." http://is.gd/BYDB
  6. Community banks: Dying or thriving? WSJ says the latter: http://is.gd/BiGl NYT Mag says the former: http://is.gd/BiGc
  7. No URL yet, but the WSJ now has Steven Friedman's scalp.
  8. The coolest interactive infographic WSJ.com has run yet. Extremely helpful to understand the stress test shenanigans. http://is.gd/xsuQ
  9. Worth reading for the headline alone: http://is.gd/wzjj
  10. A rare trend story with actual statistics to help prove the thesis. http://is.gd/vzUW
  11. "Who's South Africa's first (and second and third) lady?" Does the Slate Explainer proud. http://is.gd/vzJR
  12. WSJ gets the last laugh, puts Death of Portfolio story on B8. http://is.gd/v5ar
  13. @kevin_reiss The TwitterFeed RSS will die an unremarkable death, with handpicked links and content to TBM and other outlets.
  14. We're thinking of merging @WSJQuips with its parent @TheBigMoney. We'll continue to critique media and the economy there. Thoughts?
  15. Piece about private-label electronics never bothers to define what private-label electronics are. http://is.gd/uQHQ
  16. Worthy piercing of Facebook study. I'd write this on columnist's wall, but that would be so '08. So I Twitter instead. http://is.gd/tR38
  17. "Giving Barney Frank more voting power is more likely to induce panic than restore confidence." Barney, you got served. http://is.gd/tDRB
  18. Every now and then, we're reminded that newspapers can kick the govt in the teeth when they want to. Treasury gets booted: http://is.gd/tqso
  19. What's more dispiriting? Running a trend story on Comic Sans in 2009, or that it provoked 210 comments within 5 hours? http://is.gd/tqpb
  20. Story about tech behind Benjamin Button is running now? As opposed to Oscar season, when we saw it a million times? http://is.gd/tnpI
