I’ve always been quite forthright in stating that the S.F. Chronicle has some of the most pathetic entertainment columnists in the galaxy, and even now it’s hard not to conceal my joy in the departure of the wretched Gonick.
But I ragged Jon Carroll not for being a bad writer but for writing badly–as if on […]
Ye old S.F. Chron took another shot at checking to see if anyone would notice the disappearance of their entertainment section columnists.
It’s almost enough to make you reach for the Debra Saunders section.
Judging from the pages we snatched out of a cat box, the backside of yesterday’s E-section once again featured a full-page Cost Plus […]
The San Francisco Chronicle has pretty much taken our often repeated device to flush their coprophagic entertainment columnists and consolidate the column space for advertising.
It’s a hollow victory for us. The sad reality is that the Chron can’t field a free ranging local columnist who can write engagingly about San Francisco and the Bay Area. […]
In an impotent effort to muster up an attempt at yellow journalism, the Sunday Chron peed forth this front page headline: Silicon Valley Loses Its Sheen. Unfortunately, there was no story.
There were a few hundred words of sorry-assed bullshit that made it amply clear that the dumbshits at the Chron were blissfully unaware of […]
This morning Steve Irwin had to suffer one final indignity before his burial–the venomous barb of the S.F. Chron’s hatchet-job harpy Debra Saunders.
In a world where Saunders’ “conservative” (greedy and stupid) political idols harvest the souls of innocent people on a daily basis, we can’t help but wonder if there isn’t anybody else more worthy […]
Much as we were delighted to learn that Violet Blue is joining the S.F. Chron as a sex columnist, we also recognize that it’s our solemn responsibility to start a betting pool for the existing columnist most likely to murder Violet.
As preciously and duly noted, most of the Comicle’s insipid columnists wouldn’t make it on […]
Custard-brained Chron columnist Ms. Gonick exceeded herself in fouling the Saturday Datebook with spammy lingual excrescence. After apologizing for a previous use of the word “retard,” which she if anyone has complete license to use, the tardlicious hack went on to prattle in agonizing detail about how she’s far below even the human lowest common denominator calculated by the Department […]
Has anyone looked at the front page piece of crap article on blogging in today’s San Francisco Chronicle?
The article starts with a classical rhetorical fallacy, the straw man, taking the form of a hackneyed stereotype of bloggers (pajama-wearing partisan ranters) the author pretends to explode using a study as evidence. A study . . . as […]
Attention all readers! We are offering an as yet undetermined and probably somewhat cheesy prize for the reader who can come up with the most pathetic columnist in the Bay Area. Probably a T-shirt emblazoned with “Starked Editor: May Pose Choking Hazard.”
The criteria are vague and highly subjective, so we are liberally interpreting the word […]
