‘Wall Street Journal’: Do They Know It's Christmastime at All?

Right about now, the Wall Street Journal editorial team, tragically left out of News Corp.'s holiday bash at the Hilton on Friday, are sitting glumly in the twelfth-floor conference room, sipping "alcoholic beverages and softer fare" and engaging in forced merriment at their one and only holiday party. "I thought we were the crown jewel," moaned one staffer, who sent us this haiku summing up the festivities:

Make merry, they said.
Cake. Cookies. Juice. Soda cans.
But we ate at our desks.


The saddest invitation in the world is after the jump.
