One of us is Lex Luthor. The other is Mr. Mxyzptlk.

• Watch where you put your butt.
• Be careful with your backpack.
• Odor is the pits.
• Watch what you put in your mouth.
• Control yourself.

Quick -- someone alert the Pulitzer committee!

Nice to see that IAC is still batting 1.000.

Oh, I think it's only about 20 to 30 percent of us who are easily frightened idiots. Most of the rest of us are passive -- which, oddly enough, can be a positive, at least relatively so.

Not only have we become a nation of idiots, but what's worse and far more dangerous: We've become a nation of easily frightened idiots.

OK, back to our regularly scheduled commentary.

Can somebody please provide an example of a Chicago Now post that provides "CTA etiquette tips"? I suppose people can spend a few days discussing what the fact that these posts exist mean to the media landscape and the world at large.

Wish you were right -- and maybe you are. For sure, I admire your passion.

I disagree. Look at France.

Even better point about the predominance of stuff like "pet grooming and food trends ... entertainment chatter and CTA etiquette" at ChicagoNow. Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the scale, the posh old-school/only-semi-new-media Chicago News Cooperative is still surviving on grants and may be hard-pressed financially by early 2012.

So where does this leave us?

Will the day come when the only way to reach an audience online is to go through the Tribune and ChicagoNow?"

It's even easier to reach an even wider audience for far less money that it was in the print media.
