He is one of a few comedians that is unassuming, intelligent and funny. I would rather read this story than watch one of those waste of time press conferences. Keep up the good work. Ed,

I love Dave. For all of you who don't like it...at least it's not about Paris Hylton or Lindsey Leave-me-a-Lohan. Can news stories just be stories? Do you have to hear "hard hitting journalism" or "tabloid trash" all the time? Lighten up, people. Great story. I love Dave.

I write a weekly column for a newspaper column and get occasional criticisms for the “fluff” it contains. It’s a COLUMN based on personal experience. It’s LIGHT. It’s NOT NEWS. I would submit that it’s not the media’s lack of substance but the audience’s utter failure to be critical consumers of media and information that has led our country to the place it’s in. What a frickin’ riot! To think that someone would criticize a blog about Dave Chappelle as not being “hard news” enough. Did anyone see that headline, click on it, and think “Oh, boy. Am I in for some hard-hitting journalism.” Of course not. We have access to almost infinite information, reporting, commentary, etc. Pick and choose, people - and do a little bit of critical thinking to the point that you understand the difference between a blog, a news story, a column, an editorial, a letter to the editor, and a paid advertisement. Think harder. Be smarter. Posted By DJ, Cleveland, OH : July 20, 2007 12:31 pm DJ, I agree with what you say completely. Anything to make people smarter readers and media consumers is good. However, perhaps you are overlooking something here. We are in a unique situation with this criminal administration. So it is important to have these discussions here in this light piece because of the writer of the article. The press who is close to bush and his goons benefits. Maybe when this writer does another piece that is not so light, he will have internalized some of these comments. Maybe if he has the opportunity to ask questions or choose topics, this will have made a difference. Maybe not. Who knows. Plus when so many people are going broke and being slaughtered, it is important to have these discussions wherever and whenever possible until this fire is put out. Thanks again for your inciteful bit of reading tips.
