And our sales have actually been up this year over last year. And we’ve broken, you know, a bunch of stories, including the fact that Angelina is pregnant with twins, which none of the blogs had. We got it. So it . . . Yes it makes it harder. But on the other hand it also creates even more interest to see a fuller story that we are then able to present at the end of the week. And we always . . . almost always have new information. Recorded On: 1/30/08
