Trebor Scholz said this was an announcement and rejected it from the iDC list. I say it was my polite response to Julian Bleecker's insulting post. Isn't it odd that THE THING is willing to do the work of academia then gets shot down for it?

The building has been purchased by the Rudin family, which is adapting it for use by companies like MCI WorldCom and Qwest.

Confessions of a Wal-Mart Hit Man -- blogger call invite

Robert Greenwald's (Outfoxed) new documentary, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" will premiere in NYC & LA theaters on Nov. 4th and will expand wide on November 13th to over 3,000 screenings nationwide in churches, colleges, and living rooms in the largest grassroots mobilization in movie history.

In making the film, we were fortunate enough to meet numerous former Wal-Mart store managers, including Weldon Nicholson, a whistleblower whose stories are so compelling that we made a special video,"Confessions of a Wal-Mart Hit Man" and are releasing it exclusively to the blogging community.
