EXASPERATING:

"There was a lot of resistance from the scientific community because a lot of people had made their careers telling people to eat margarine instead of butter," said Walter Willett, chairman of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health and one of a handful of medical researchers who have led the fight against trans fat. "When I was a physician in the 1980's, that's what I was telling people to do and unfortunately we were often sending them to their graves prematurely."

These are the same types of know-it-alls who are SURE about every scientific crisis to come down the track, only to have to change their minds when an equal and opposite crisis derails the present one.

It appears I was wrong about that show about spelling bees; it's become THE THING among the COGNOSCENTI, and its press agents are gassing about a Main Stem run. But I really wish Mr. Teachout would not spoil his reviews by gushing, "Let me pause for a moment so you can go right out and buy tickets...." The late Walter Kerr could run a plug in reviewing My Fair Lady because that was a once-in-a-century phenomenon; but I've a sneaky hunch this NEW THING is cute, with cute and forgettable songs, and somehow I will not put that on the same plane as Prof. Higgins and Miss Doolittle. For my part I've had enough of AD-BLURB COPYWRITERS PLUGGING.

Here's another scalp the SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS can wave in the air. It's unfortunate someone must resign a job for opening his mouth, but the latest victim can blame the LORDS OF DAVOS for refusing to release the tape -- and Eason for opening his mouth.

But as we know, any organization founded by TED TURNER does not have much sense to begin with.

Which raises the question: If Eason can lose his job for asserting we were "targeting" reporters in Iraq, why shouldn't that looney-left PERFESSER in Colorado lose his for saying things far more odious -- and quite possibly lying in his CV? If we can't sanction truly obnoxious remarks what moral standing do we have to sanction anything?

The CLEM KADIDDLEHOPPERS OF MOUNTAIN VIEW, celebrating the HUGE GAINS IN THEIR STOCK, have deployed THREE NEW FEATURES IN G000,000,000,000,000,000GLEBLOGGER:

1. They added whatisits to the URLs, presumably to make G000,000,000,000,000,000GLEBLOGGER more easily break down;

2. You can't sign in on the Address bar if you've already logged in, so if you're unwary enough in order to post you now have to repeatedly sign in;

3. When you click on your posts in the "Edit Posts" mode under "Post Title" (hint hint) you get "Loading..." -- and if you're lucky the screen may keep on loading.

But shucks, they did do one thing right: they finally made it unneccessary to edit the TIME when you post between NOON and 1 P.M. Someone will be FIRED for this!

HIGH FINANCE the POINTY-HAIREDLY BERNIE'S WAY:

[W]hile on the corporate jet in route to a Salomon Smith Barney conference in January 2000, Sullivan told Ebbers that WorldCom's revenue growth guidance for 2000 should be as general as possible.

Just say double-digit, Sullivan testified that he told Ebbers. If they pin you down, Sullivan added, stay with a wide range, like 11 percent to 14 percent,

Sullivan said he thought Ebbers understood the situation.

But just before Ebbers was to give his forecast to the analysts and large shareholders, an institutional investor told the CEO about a problem he had with WorldCom stock.

"The problem is your stock is a 'tweener," he said, according to Sullivan. "It isn't a high-growth stock with 15 percent-plus annual growth and not a slow-growth stock with revenue growth in the single digits."

Sullivan said Ebbers then mounted the stage and told Wall Street he expected WorldCom revenue to grow by 13 1/2 percent to 15 1/2 percent in 2000.

Shocked, Sullivan said he confronted his boss.

"Where did that come from?" Sullivan said he asked Ebbers.

Ebbers said nothing and just looked at the ground, Sullivan told the jury.

Sorry to Volokh, but today, Philadelphia is in MOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRNING. And that, to be sure, is largely the MEDIA HACKS' FAULT. I'd be surprised if the CRETINOUS KNIGHTRIDDERITES don't print EVERY PAGE IN BLACK. And for a city to be in MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUURRRRRRRRRRNING is largely the fault of THE SIX-DIGIT SCRIBBLERS and their partners in greed the HAIR-SPRAY DRENCHED DO'S. I suspect a comparison between this EPOCHAL DISASTER and, say, the IMMORTAL 1960 TRIUMPH would be instructive. Back in those days the hacks were content with maybe two days of coverage and some straight analysis of the game. Since then, however, a deadly conceit has taken hold of the media -- that they must be PROFIT CENTERS, and everything they do must be measured in terms of how much they PLEASE THE CUSTOMERS -- the same customers we've BIASED and SLANTED out of EXISTENCE. As the NEWS HOLE decreases (the inevitable result of slanting our papers into oblivion) the possibilities for crowd-pleasin' mischief increase. This is even more true with DO's, whose programs went from fifteen-minute rip-'n'-reads to two-hour POLICE BLOTTERS. What time to fill! What space! And how shall we fill it? Not with news, that's asking too much. We'll fill it with what -- THE PUBLIC WANTS! With what -- MAKES US MONEY! Hence ten weeks of SATURATION COVERAGE, millions of words of IDLEST SPECULATION AND HUMBUG, photos enough to WALLPAPER a ROOM, hacks flashing their expense accounts like THE DONALD flashing his AMEX PLATINUM CARD, endless resumes for BRISTOL, CHEERLEADING AND MORE CHEERLEADING. THIS is why I dreaded a win: all that cheerleading builds up expectations to such a pitch it can only lead to release in rioting -- especially in a city with little self-esteem (a situation surely not helped by COURAGEOUS SCRIBBLERS and DO'S). Perhaps nothing would have come of it other than one big party for days on end -- an irksome enough prospect to one across the street from a RENDELI -- but why should we always have to play Russian roulette with NEWS HACKS?

And the utter irony is that for all this placating, for all this condescending, for all this kowtowing, NEWS HACKS do not stop the hemorraging of readers, the deepening of distrust among viewers. To them the night-and-day RAH-RAH is but one more reason to suspect every last NEWS HACK's motivation, and to be sure that, in the end, the BIZ only has it IN for us.

As for NEXT time, I shall be prepared: not only will I have a television -- it is no fun following the GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO MAN'S WELFARE AND CULTURE on the Web -- but the weekend of the TRIUMPH I may rent a hotel room in a distant city and spend two days there so I don't have to share in the DRUNK -- the CELEBRATION.
