Jalopnik
If anyone happened to be up at the ungodly hour of 7:00 AM, and happened to have "America's Business Channel" on, they'd have caught yours truly punditing his red-eyes off on CNBC's "On The Money" Squawk Box. The topic was the existentialist nature of the widening net of social control. OK, not really — it was the UAW-Chrysler mini-strike of course — didn't you read the post we dropped at like 5:00 AM today? So what was the highlight of the appearance? How about getting "Lamest. Strike. Ever." onto the air? While we doubt it'll get the same play as "Hollywood Strike" did this morning, maybe it'll have legs — because it'd be totally cooler to have that used in the lede of a Times front pager.

Come on, man, you can do better than that--
"I think some of the readers on our *cough*helmethair*cough* site were calling it the Lamest *cough*finalnet*cough* Strike Ever..."
Is that shell she's wearing DOT approved? It sure looks like it.
You probably don't read your friends at Defamer much, Ray, because the next Hollywood strike (i.e. the Writers' Guild's) should be a real Duesie!
You forgot about her obsessive pen clicking.
1 shot Cabo Wabo for smug grin, and a double for a chuckle...
Age wise, the guys from Jalopnik and the Free Press look like they have about 2 year of industry knowledge between the two of them. Good historical perspective there.
@usa1: It's just my haircut. It makes me look ten years younger. Actually, I am fully willing to admit that John Casesa is much older than I am.
@usa1: Historical perspective? As if being 50 years old would give them some better insight? I mean, unless you're talking about needing 115 year old people to make better calls.
God Dammit Butters.
Butters' voice makes him sound like hes about 15 years older than he looks...
Ray, your ability to slide "lamest strike ever" in, not just in general but AT THE TOP, deserves a downing of an entire pitcher of mimosas. And an entire box of Raisin Bran. Schweet!
@Ray Wert: He is. Used to work with him at Merrill.
@geeteeoh: As did I, actually!
Ray: What did you do at Merrill and for how long?
