Condé Nast to Save Magazines by Canceling All Newspapers Subscriptions
Is this evidence of McKinsey at work? Mediaite was just forwarded an internal memo from Condé Nast to all employees regarding “changes to expense practices.” And by expense practices we, of course mean buying newspapers. Welcome to the “save yourselves” portion of Condé’s “realignment.” There is to be more free newspapers for Condé Nast employees! None. Unless you can’t find them online (ironic side note: this more or less includes the entire Conde offering) or in the Condé Library, at which point you may be allowed to expense. Full memo after the jump.

To: Conde Nast Publications – Employees Only
Subject: Updated Expense GuidelinesIn today’s economic environment, managing expenses is a shared responsibility. With that in mind, we ask for your cooperation with the following changes to expense practices.
Effective Monday, August 3rd, we are discontinuing:
- Newspaper Subscriptions
– Deliveries will end as soon as practicable; in some instances, this may be as early as August 3rd.
– Costs for all newspapers – whether subscriptions or single copy purchases – will no longer be reimbursed by the Company.
- Direct-bill Accounts at Hudson News (New York City only)
– All accounts will be closed on August 3rd.
– In the event that a specific periodical is required for business purposes and is not available online or in the Condé Nast Library on the 4th floor at 4 Times Square, it may be purchased with a Corporate Card and expensed through the Company’s T & E process.
– For a list of the Library’s holdings, log into Connect and select “Library” under “Departments.”
Your support is very much appreciated.

Conde Nast needs to do way more than just cutting newspaper subscriptions to save some money. Townsend needs to kill perks currently held by his top editors. Car service, A dozen assistants etc. Seriously? Give me a break. Let Wintour & Carter and others ride the yellow cabs or if they so need to have the black shiny Mercedes or SUV out front, let them pay for it out of their own pockets. They have the money. I would turn that place upside down and shake it.

Should Obama Be Worried? Rush Limbaugh Asks Listeners To Push Back On HCR

In an almost unheard of move (it's apparently only happened once before) Rush Limbaugh announced the Capitol switchboard number on air and encouraged his listeners to call their local representatives and push back against health care. Why now?
Foreign Policy Expert Sarah Palin Offers President Obama Advice On Israel
Thanks to a badly timed 'settlement' announcement during Vice President Joe Biden's recent trip, followed by a strongly worded admonition from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Israel is firmly back in the headlines (alongside, the 'demon pass'). Needless to say, Sarah Palin is not far behind with her take on matters.
