Tina Brown, former editor of the New Yorker and various and sundry other magazines, now wants to be an Internet mogul with a brand new site called The Daily Beast. I opened it and was shocked to see her logo is a red box with stark white letters.

Look familiar

Maybe Brown's new enterprise has deep enough pockets that our parent Philadelphia Media Holdings could sue. I hear we could use a few extra dollars.

Hey Will, maybe your parent company Philadelphia MedIa Holdings has deep enough pockets to teach you how to use a spellchecker before you post so their name will be spelled correctly.

A red box with white letters? Man, there can't be more than 150,000 companies with that combination. It's all Bush's fault, right?

Will's posts lately have been littered with spelling and grammar mistakes. So much for checking his work, he is in such a rush to crank out this stuff. My favorite " You could here the crowd". Duh.

"It's funny how bunch says comments with juvenile noise will be deleted, yet he has blog posts like this" . . . . TPD, even subway grafitti is considered to be an art form, so why suppress it? Kids ought to be allowed to express themselves as long as nobody gets hurt. For instance, imagine what it must do for shoeshineboy's self-esteem to be able to call out Will on his typos.

"TPD, even subway grafitti is considered to be an art form, so why suppress it?" Why are you drecting this comment only to TPD and not to Will? It seems that they've taken the same position on this "issue".

Will Bunch - the Greg Lewis of the Daily News. Nobody really sure why he is still on the team. Comes up small when he needs to do something big. Sucks up to management. Glew it is

Will, I think the wingers need a treat today. Why don't you post your thoughts on the Buchanan County (Va.) Voice's great editorial on Obama's "platform"? The author is apparently a VIP in McCain's state campaign. (See DailyKos or LATimes)

Greg Lewis is the only Eagle to ever catch a touchdown in a Super Bowl.

Not true Captain Awesome. I believe tight end Keith Krepfle caught one in SB XV.

You are absolutely correct legatus. I'm sorry Captain but Greg Lewis has been stealing money for years!

BTW shoeshine. I meant the comment about Will and Greg Lewis. The blood and ants bit has gotten REAL old!
