"If you lived in Las Vegas and were looking for information on the top story in town, which source would you seek out?"
I guess that depends on whether I'm looking for accurate information. If that's my standard, the answer would have to be any place other than this trashy loser site. Sheer quantity does not denote quality, and almost every post you reference is full of lies, obsession, disrespect, innuendo, bigotry, outlandish rumor, bizarre conspiracy speculation, vendetta and reprints of other people's work.
Here's the part where you make up readers who post happy thoughts on your blog, right? Lame. Get a life.
This quote from the 1978 version of "Heaven Can Wait" seems appropriate to the whole Tabloid Baby/Danny Gans saga:
"The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong."
Dear Veggie Gal: Your IP address is showing that your comment comes from the same computer as your blog. Duh. Thanks for proving me right.
Thanks for your comments, all! But Jennifer, you're mistaken. We're not associated with "Veggie Gal" and we never write on the comments side unless we identify ourselves... we've got enough of a forum...
