in august LAist had its biggest month ever.

et

the second biggest was july, followed by june. just because my bosses are happy doesnt mean that everyone is. here is something someone wrote to me about my labor, on labor day, which just goes to show you, you can lead a horse to water but stand back because he’ll soon have to piss:

I try not to hate anyone , I believe in kindness and understanding, what bothers me is that a person like Tony Pierce is an editor of anything, the lack of intellect that he exudes should place him in a more suitable profession, such as bar tending or detailing cars, or just anything that doesn’t require any more thought than vacuuming a room.

he seems to be the kind of person that hears something from a bunch of 20 year old kids and makes an opinion on the conversation and writes it down for thousands to read but has no real knowledge of the issue, has researched nothing, hasn’t enlisted the advice from anyone in the know, but thinks because he “FEELS” a certain way about an issue and other uninformed people around him “FEEL” the same way he must be right.
I really don’t blame him at all, I blame the people higher up that hire idiots like him to right opinion pieces on the major issues of the day that can influence thousands of other uninformed idiots.
Please try and hire Intelligent people that will inform themselves before they inform others about how or what they “FEEL” on an issue, and if they cant relate an informed view, take their podium away and let them go to the park and stand on a bench and ramble on about when the worlds going to end or why gas prices are so high or why the president wasn’t carrying Katrina survivors out on his own shoulders two hours after the levies broke or any other issue he really knows nothing about except how he “FEELS”.

as if this will mean anything to anyone up there , HOPE.

the new LAist is making me want to move to another city.

Tony Pierce obviously has the lamest taste in music.

Grow the eff up! Ferchrissakes, how can a *paid* blogger be pushing such a tired, discredited storyline?

you are a hack writer for a franchised, corporate media outlet, and you wrote a tired regurgitation of factually-challenged talking points lifted from other franchised, corporate media outets. In short, not only are you wrong, you are unoriginal. You bring nothing to the table.

COBAIN IS DEAD DUDE, GET OVER IT. PEARL JAM AND VEDDER WOULD BE BETTER THAN NIRVANA IF THEY WERE BLIND, DEAF, AND MENTALLY RETARDED. NIRVANA WAS THE WORST BAND EVER. COBAIN WAS SO JEALOUS HE KILLED HIMSELF. YOU LOSE, PEARL JAM WINS.

UR an diot dude!!

leave Kobe alone….you dumb heffa….shut the fuck up about Kobe already.shaq aint shut….L A donot miss the can’t THROW freethrow mother fvcker…….he is an imbecile…..an unintelligent baboon..and a loud mouth……..get out of Kobe’s butt……

an interesting exchange occurred was when someone left this comment:

my grandma has been a Laker fan since the Jerry West days, and she hates Shaq for being a big baby and not working it out with Kobe, not the other way around.

if it’s good enough for Grandma, it’s good enough for me.

to which i was obliged to reply thusly:

so because penis was good enough for your grandma, then i suspect it’s good enough for you too?

ah, the internet, the most powerful tool in the world that moonlights as the fanciest way for strangers to tell each other they suck.
