    They're the Abbott and Costello of our time.
    "Hey, Henry, I hear you had to pay four million bucks for illegally fuckin' people."
    "Yeah, Eliot. I hear it only cost you two grand a pop!"
    "Why I oughta . . . "

    This is the kind of post sanctimonious assholes who don't own a television just sit and wait for so they can shout to the world their freedom from the vile, mindless oppressor. That would be me, folks. Twenty-three years sans television and I've never felt better.

    @Mama Penguino: Well, I like TV. I just don't like bad TV (like reality shows or Fox News). I also don't like watching shows with more commercials than show. I heart DVRs and my Roku box.


    Wifey: Do we have any new "Keeping Up Appearances?"


    Me: The entire series is online (with room for a pony). Which episode do you want?"


    $13.95 a month well spent.

    In reply to Will Your Children Know the Magic of Television?
    Well, Blodgett may be "journalist smart" in that he made his money doing PR for corrupt companies, but...


    His point is that before, the cable companies had a monopoly on household access to video, and know, through the magic of the internet, we all have "pipes" that deliver us content whenever we'd like it.


    Yeah, except those magical pipes are, you know, owned by the cable company.


    Newspapers are in bad shape because we can get all the content they used to provide via the phone company or cable company. It's a silly comparison.


    There's definitely an interesting analysis to be done of the ad-supported entertainment industry, but this is not it.

    Your opening joke equates being laid-off in a recession to being a failure. Classy.

    Why is Blodget suddenly getting so much coverage? He has been writing articles from time to time for Crain's and a few other more obscure sites which hardly makes him an authority on anything except failure.


    I took some comparative literature classes with him at Yale (we were both class of 88). He didn't seem the type who could add two plus two. But i remembered his parents lived in one of the fanciest buildings on Fifth Avenue and he had gone to Exeter. Sounds like he got where he is through connections.

    @Bring It On: He's actually a fun writer. He edits Silicon Alley Insider now and wrote something for the Atlantic, so he has something more than an obscure profile as a writer.

    You know, I cannot dislike Stewart. She was castigated publicly in a way that her male counterparts rarely are, and she came back in style.

    There's been a peculiar (pernicious?) rhetorical hatchet job on the disgraced, and now the infamous are just famous. No one has any shame, anymore.


    OK, so i had a big bowl of cranky for breakfast today.
