Did anyone else notice that after wasting his swan song pissing on the blogosphere<\/a>, Steve Lawrence has a new line (sorry). OK, <\/p>\n

The Line on KNME (7pm Fridays) isn’t quite new anymore, and surely not New Media (until it has a podcast — YAWN!<\/em>).<\/p>\n

But <\/p>\n

hold on. After Lawrence excoriated bloggers, who joins him on the set: Joe Monahan, one of the few bloggers making money. And what’s <\/p>\n

this?! Next week, conservative blogger Mario Burgos will be the guest (what, is Greg Payne afraid to ride the bus after dark? Is Bohnsack <\/p>\n

too busy re-writing Pong for Ruby?). And, no, I haven’t overlooked that regular Gene Grant is a blogger (I may be the only person Gene <\/p>\n

Grant ever yelled at on his blog — or possibly anywhere). So, is Steve surrounding himself with bloggers to make himself look good by <\/p>\n

comparison?<\/p>\n

Regular readers would assume I had to be happy that Joe replaced Dimdahl for the week. Surprise! The ever dour, fast-<\/p>\n

talking monotone Monahan made me miss the sly Burnsian-smile of Dimdahl, his skin so smooth and hair perfectly white (or are those hairs <\/p>\n

transparent, like a polar bear’s?). Though I can’t stand Dimdahl most of the time, I imagine it most be wonderful to sit with Dimmy in <\/p>\n

the warming hut aprés ski, drinking wine and passing a fatty; he’s probably brilliant while high. <\/p>\n

I’d say we all need to <\/p>\n

support these local TV shows, though Kate Nelson’s In Focus at 7:30pm is much better — The Line is the McLaughlin Group for people <\/p>\n

under 50. But after my re-education at TheFix<\/a>, I adhere to Capital <\/p>\n

Darwinism which declares “if you can’t make a go of it, sod off, ya wanker!” It’s the profit motive, stupid! mjh<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
