Monday Morning Ramblings 2005, Issue XVII

It was a much more hospitable take on the blogging scene than anything I've seen thus far from the MSM.

For instance, elitest columnists that bad mouth blogging and then don't respond to a counterpart written about a certain Pittsburgh boxer! No, I still have not heard from either Mike Seate or Sally Kalson. Quite frankly my opinion of Seate has gone downhill over the last few months. Before he was the refreshing liberal columnist in the right wing rag that is the Trib. I believe Al Franken described best in "Lies" as a "fishwrapper". His writing as of late has been boring, lazy and uninspiring.
