NYT: Tina Brown Has 'No Regrets' After Disastrous Newsweek Reign
Today’s New York Times contains a lengthy investigative piece that details how the Daily Beast’s Tina Brown took over an already-failing Newsweek and only managed to pretty much finish it off.

Small Businesses Can't Avoid ObamaCare by Switching to Part-Time Workers
Small businesses hoping to avoid the high costs of ObamaCare by switching to part-time employees got some unwelcome news last Thursday, as Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner reported that the Small Business Administration launched a website to explain to employers the federal government will add up the number of part-time staff employed to determine if enough hours have been worked to meet the “full-time equivalent” criterion.
AZ Dem Gubernatorial Candidate Darkens Skin for Commercials to Appear Hispanic
Phoenix businessowner Fred DuVal is not Hispanic. But he apparently has been coloring his skin darker in his commercials for his gubernatorial candidacy in order to appear Hispanic. DuVal says the whole situation is just a big joke, since his Republican opposition calls him “The World’s Most Uninteresting Man;” he says he was trying to make himself look like the actor from the Dos Equis commercials.
Time to apologize to George Bush again, Obama supporters
Say, does everyone remember how liberals went absolutely nuts because President George Bush didn’t think it was important to kill Osama bin Laden? This was portrayed by sneering liberals as excuse-making by Chimpy McHitlerburton for his inability to take down the 9/11 mastermind. They brought it up again after bin Laden was killed by Barack Obama, with a minor assist from SEAL Team Six. Much time was spent dwelling on how Bush took his eye off the bin Laden ball, while Obama ended terrorism and put al-Qaeda on the run by bagging the old monster.
Obama Visited Amazon 6 Days Before Founder Bought WaPo
While conservatives and liberals consider the political leanings of Washington Post buyer and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in an attempt to divine how his politics will affect those of the historic institution, the truth appears to be far simpler: the Post is now Bezos’ latest political tool in a crony capitalist effort to work with the Obama administration. How else to explain President Obama puzzling decision last week to roll out his corporate tax plan at an Amazon.com fulfillment center?

Weddings get too costly — for guests
As the cost of attending weddings increases, so does the volume of RSVPs marked “Declines with regret.” Some 43% of Americans say they’ve declined to attend a wedding for financial reasons, according to a new poll by American Consumer Credit Counseling. The average cost of attending a wedding — including expenses like hotel stays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, child care, and party attire — reached roughly $539 this year, up 60% from 2012, according to an American Express survey. Of course, that pales in comparison to the cost of hosting a wedding: $28,400 on average last year, according to wedding website TheKnot.com.
