    1. How do you trolls always manage to make the first comment each day? Do you have no life?

    2. How about a question for you Anonymous @12:42. Since
      Anonymous @ 11:53 was the fourth comment of the day, and to the second post, how do people who only call people trolls get to be so inobservant? Is it because you focus on those you consider to have no life?

    3. Since it took quite some time to generate any comment on this fine post, and since 12:42 took almost an hour before offering his/her gem of a response it looks as if those who don't even have a life are not beating a path to Bob's comment box.

    4. @1:22, aren't you ignoring @11:53?

      You've answered the question -- you have no life.

  2. So after months of teasing we get a week of the Talk Show/Game Show host as a substitute for a journalist? Then in week two we start with another tease promising to revisit an article written in 1986 about which he has already written a post?

    Geez, the next thing you know Bob is going to start reviewing books written in the 1980's.
