• YESSSSSSSSS! Good for Kevin. He’s an intelligent man, I hope WME burns to the ground.

• This merger is a disaster…The clients believe they are just apples being thrown onto a truck…and they are…Wiatt made the great Wiatt deal for Wiatt and Sneezy Wirtshafter alone…

• Ari is cool. I saw him once and he gave me a death stare. That’s how I like my agents, badass.

• I was about to shed a tear for John Fogelman’s loss, but then I realized it’s John Fogelman. That man deserves every bad break that comes his way.

  Sucks for Esther Chang, though. But when you dance with the devil…

• That’s ok, JMF already has a pie chart for tomorrow’s talent meeting explaining this is all part of the master plan.

• “Hey, John, I’ve got Transformers on Line 1, Stephen Sommers on 2 to discuss G.I. Joe, and Brian Goldner the richest CEO in the world right now on line 3.”

  wrath of chaka kahn – you’re small time.

  Oh – and Kevin is working all year thanks to his former team. Ask him when his next hiatus is….

• I wonder if Jim Wiatt, David Wirtschafter and John Fogleman look at this merger as a good thing still. The fact that they all lined their pockets and sold out their collegues seems to have a kharmic effect, at least, for one of the stooges. Here’s to the other two learning hard lessons as well.

  Someone has got to raise Arnold Rifkin. I betcha he skips down the street with glee at the thought of those three stooges.

• Kevin must have got tired of calling JMF et al. and realizing it was just like talking to charlie brown’s teacher.

• Spacey has been looking to make this move for awhile. The merger is a good reason to pull the trigger.

• We figured it out. What Endeavor bought was not William Morris. What they bought was the music division and some back ends. The LA Times was 100% correct. Ari out agented Jim big time. Jim you are the laughing stock of Hollywood. Have fun

• Hey I gotta an idea! Let’s do a movie about Ari, En-devour, WMA and the whole lot of them. We could call it Animal House
