Let's see...the biggest story of the day, and natch, PROF hasn't mentioned it (he's thinking whether the talk of Kerry's "electability" made him electable, or why we shouldn't stop the production of gray goo, or whether fuzz grows in his navel, or something), BUZZ NEWHOUSE hasn't mentioned it (even though what's good for Time Warner is good for America; he must be listening to his dear buddy Howard Stern's Greatest Hits -- or maybe his new buddy Howard Dean's), ANDY S. of course won't mention it (unless Roberts pere et fils get married), lgf won't mention it (Yassir doesn't run Comcast), PROF's co-productions won't mention it -- what's the point of blogging when you're deaf, dumb and blind to the BIGGEST STORY OF THE DAY? And a multi-faceted one at that: this is a FREE SPEECH issue, a CULTURE WARS issue, a BIG BUSINESS issue, a POCKETBOOK issue, and you've shut yourselves into that HERMETICALLY-SEALED BOX in which you TYPE 15,000 WORDS on JUSTICE SCALIA'S ETHICS, or 20,000 WORDS PARSING COLIN'S WORDS -- ALL THE LIVELONG DAY, EVERY LIVELONG DAY.

P. S. to you FORBES 400 BLOGGERS: Today at work I heard people complain Comcast's ego trip will cause their cable bills to go up. You can talk about electability and Howard Stern and FMA and Palestinian child abuse until you're blue in your fonts, but YOU CLOWNS ARE GETTING TO BE EVERY BIT AS INSULAR AS THE SEVEN-DIGIT NEWS HACKS!
