NOTE TO AXE-GRINDING BLOGGERS: Do not step to the Greatest Generation. They slap fools.
“IT’S ALL (BLEEP)ING ENTERTAINMENT: ‘All that bull(bleep)-ass calls they had out there. With Mike [Callahan] and Kenny [Mauer] — you’ve all seen that (bleep),” Wallace said. “You saw them calls. The cats are flopping all over the floor and they’re calling that (bleep). That (bleep) ain’t basketball out there. It’s all (bleeping) entertainment.’
SYDNEY POLLACK AND THE DEARTH OF QUALITY MASS-MARKET MOVIES: ‘His death is a reminder that things have changed, that the kind of movie he made, which used to be the kind of movie everyone wanted to make (and to see), may be slipping into obsolescence.’

NIELSEN ONLINE: ‘Seventh-place HuffingtonPost.com also maintained its impressive growth - 99% - from a year earlier, but dropped down from it fifth-place ranking in March. Meanwhile, AOL Sports blog The FanHouse moved up one spot, to the No. 5 position, after having entered the top 10 - for the first time - in March. It had 5.7 million unique visitors in April, compared with nearly 4.4 million in March.’
