Watchdog

Jay Mariotti again kicks the newspaper business while it's down in his debut column for AOL, while strangely ignoring the fact most major newspapers also operate Web sites that are able to report and comment upon news as quickly as AOL can.

Here is an excerpt from his column:

"The difference is, the column won't go through the 20th-century, ink-and-newsprint monkey grind where you hope the truck driver doesn't stop at Dunkin' Donuts and the delivery boy doesn't hit your dog on the ass. The column simply will go from my computer to an editor to you."

Yo, Jay, I just posted that not only with no help from a truck driver but also with no help from an editor. Take that!
