    It's hilarious to see Bill Keller and Perez Hilton in the same category.

    Cajun Boy, I can only assume that you have never worked in the New York art gallery world. I see your self important a-holes and raise you 6,000 anorexic, alcoholic, black-clad medusas (medusi?) of both sexes, give or take a thousand once Larry Gagosian gets done killing and eating what remains of his staff.

    I was always wondering: why US-ians are so obsessed about one-dimensional linear numerical orderings? No other culture that I'm aware of spends so much time compiling and discussing linearly ordered rankings.


    Lattices FTW!

    No it's funny you say that; I had a longer response written, but somehow in the midst of typing I closed the comment window. Heh.

    It's like the "tumblrity" index on Tumblr: The more they suck up to other people and repeat their ideas, the higher their ranking goes.

    Bill O'Reilly is ranked higher on the "Power Grid" than Ann Curry. An unabashed racist and intolerant ratings-grabber with an incredibly dangerous view of the world around him, ranked higher than Ann Curry.


    Yes, this thing is busted.

    @croush1211: This is the sort of thing that pisses me off about the media in general and web 2.0 specifically: the conflation of the popular with the good. Just because a lot of people are watching Bill O'Reilly, it doesn't make him worth listening to. Why can't mediaite supply the context in which these ratings occur? Oh, because that would take effort, and passion, and would likely render all of the rankings as ridiculous as the ones you pointed out.


    "Buzz" is just the sound of the flies circling the cooling corpse of traditional media.

    In reply to Joe Scarborough's 'Team' Asks for, Receives Special Treatment from Newsweek
    I interviewed Joe Scarborough yesterday about his book. All my questons were about subject material in his book, except for my last one, which was about George Tiller. He answered it (he talked about how he defended Griffin was doing it as a favor to a friend)
    A little less than two minutes later, I got a call from his personal assistant who reprimanded me for askign about Tiller when I said the interview was going to be about the book. He wanted to make sure that wasn't going to be the lead of the story, which it wasn't.

    I agree Mr. Cajun Boy, this doesn't sound spectacular.


    I smell pandering.


    Thus definitively marking the end of Colbert as cool and beginning the era of Colbert as corporate tool of winking rebellion.

    Newsweek hasn't had news in it for years-- now it's trying to be less "weekly" as well? Might consider a name change.

    Also, didn't GWB go to bed at like 7pm when he didn't have a party to host?

    The man goes to the gym every morning before going to the office at 9. We did the same thing in the 10th Mountain Division, and I dare you to tell tell me we of New York's frozen North Country were a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings.


    After taking a break for a couple of hours at 6:30, what he does the rest of the day isn't exactly kicking back with a beer and a bag of Cheetos to vegetate in front of the TV. He's still doing work. He's still being the President, which is more than I could say of his predecessor. He's also logging far fewer frequent flier miles on Air Force One than the previous "President" as well. He probably gets less sleep at night, on average, than you do. Give the man a break.

    Seeing the clip of Hannity becoming enraged when his panel wouldn't agree that waterboarding is OK if it would save Americans from another terrorist attack was truly frightening. Angry and evil.


    Why is someone not blowing the lid off this asshole's rumored extramarital affair?? He's a little too loud and self-righteous in the way he professes his fidelity and I'm not buying it.
