Iowahawk Guest Opinion
by Rosa Ortiz
Former Chief of Housekeeping Staff
Park Avenue Estate of Caroline Kennedy

Ola, this is Rosa. I am blog you again today because I am look for the job. Because the pinche puta gabacha Senora Kennedy she fire me.

Forgive me Guadalupe for to talk like this but I am very very angry. When I blog last time it is because Senora Kennedy, she say “Rosa! Make the blog for my Senator campaign, I have the gown fitting.” I say, “but Senora, I no know how to do this blog and have many towels to fold.” And then she is angry and say, “I no care, just do this. I am late for appointment at Sachs.”

Okay so I write the blog because I no want to make her angry. I blog you how much Senora Kennedy is make good Senator and how she is good to Rosa. I work hard on the blog, and even miss my late bus home to the Bronx and then I have to sleep on the extra cot in the servant wing.

Take a minute and read the whole thing.

Like they're trying to sell off their stake in the BoSox. I'd actually love to see the "real" financials at the Times. You can bet the stuff their giving up for pubic and investor consumption is the best case scenario and isn't even close to what they know reality is going to look like. I'm guessing this is going to shape up as a really really really ugly year for them. The really interesting undercurrent in all of this is the Mexican dude. He is the largest single shareholder at about 7% plus the $250MM in warrants that make the junk bond rates look really good by comparison. Even though he holds Class B stock - no voting rights - his warrants should give him a big say as to what happens operationally on a day-to-day basis. I'm guessing he is going to be causing Pinch etal major heartburn in the not too distant future. I also forgot some stuff. Like they’re trying to sell off their stake in the BoSox.

The stock was at $50 in Jan 2004. Heh. But the highlights of the last week are even better (and probably worth a diary…)

  • NYT gets $250MM from Mexican billionaire at LoanShark rates.
  • NYT sells their share of their Manhatten HQ builiding.
  • Moodys downgrades them.
  • Stock closes at $5.75, a new low.
  • Moody’s expects their ad revenues to decline an additional 10% this year.

I’d give anything to be a fly on the wall at Pinch’s house when the family shows up for a visit. The stock was at $50 in Jan 2004. Heh.
