Jeff, if you were a bottomless pit of hate you’d still be … okay, you’re a bottomless pit of hate. But is that necessarily a bad thing?

Treacher, if I had found even an inkling of anything of substance on your blog, Iâ€™d probably engage you on this point.

Too late!

Treacher, if I had found even an inkling of anything of substance on your blog, I’d probably engage you on this point. But then your blog has about as much intellectual substance as your silly comment above. Perhaps you can stick to the silly stuff, and let the adults have a real conversation.

Perhaps you are having a Being John Malkovich moment?

Sounds like it’s time to refill Ettorre’s saucer of milk.

You have to claim that it was a minimum wage that made you lay off Stan if you’re going to be in sync with our temporary lame duck administration. Maybe if you wait until January you can conclude that increased earning power on the part of those who spend every penny on living expenses is a great way to grow the economy. But if they start buying newspapers again, there go a few great obits. I hope you take your new position very seriously, so much is at stake.

I saw this last night and thought it might’ve been a reference at first. Then the story went on and I wasn’t convinced that it was their intention… who knows…

And all this was accomplished by blogging?

I saw that last night and immediately wondered if it was supposed to be you. Except he didn’t have a beard.

I’m eternally grateful to Donovan for writing “I’m Just Mad About Safran.”

Wait… what?

Mostly, you’ve become a cartoon figure, far more concerned with your five minutes of pop cultural fame than anything you purport to be covering or helping strategize. The idea that someone such as you who’s excited about a cameo on the egregious South Park and whose major claim to journalistic fame is defending slimeball Howard Stern and writing for TV Guide (recall if you will the dripping condescension from Jerry Steinfeld–”he collects those?”–when he learned that Mr. Costanza collected old TV Guides) would purport to lecture the most serious media institutions on how to position themselves for the future is, well, pathetic.

You might have been in the “Go, God, Go Part 2″ episode, too. Cartman said something about “Jarvis probes,” I think. I could be wrong, though. I was still laughing pretty hard from the “Buck Rogers” intro.

I was referenced on “Streetcar Named Desire”.

Stanley Kowalski yells out “MUMBLIX…MUMBLIX”!

Everybody thinks he was yelling “STELLA”!

Idiots.
