Ah really? I haven't followed. Denton sounds like a real prick who's driven away the talent. But that aside, the pressure of having to come up with 20 or 30 posts a day, filled with wiseass and sparkle - how can anyone stand it? After a year, you must be ready for a loony bin.
And that guy from Wonkette, Pareene, really blows. Makes fun of the WGA strike, which is really low. Curious that exploited writers should be so hostile to a writers union.
