The sudden, shocking resignation of Rep. Chris Lee (R-NY) in the midst of an attempted-sex scandal has been the hot topic of conversation in Washington, especially at the Conservative Political Action Conference. On my way out of the conference Thursday afternoon, I spotted former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, so naturally, I wanted to get his reaction to the resignation, however brief.

A few days ago, Conan O’Brien listed the Tonight Show on Craig’s List. Now, as he enters the home stretch at the Tonight Show, he’s listed himself on Craig’s List. According to Mashable, O’Brien announced the listing on his show. I admit, it’s a clever post, and really, I feel for Conan. But isn’t this a little overkill? Repeating jokes doth not a comedian make.

You may have noticed that lots of the folks that make media for a living are pretty unhappy these days.

If you listen to Craig Newmark, the king of digital classifieds and the namesake of the now ubiquitous Craigs List – the newspaper folks he’s talked to don’t blame him for the demise of the newspaper business. It’s cool.
