Our wacky boss Nick Denton hires real journalist (and former Suck-er) Owen Thomas to run Silicon Valley gossip site Valleywag. (Great, now that Denton's not blogging himself, he's going to be all CEO on us again.) Meanwhile, we hear that one Valley tycoon has promised to "destroy" Denton over a threatened outing. (Yay!) Well, prepare the destructo-ray, crazy person, because you know Denton will want to retire from blogging with a bang. [GigaOm]
