    you were kidding in your lil' closing salvo, right?

    please tell me, dear alex, that you weren't really upset that there was no "amateur hour." you were totally joking in your complaint about "no big-name" people, right? surely cornel west, chris rock and whoever else was there -- oh, yeah, barack mufuckin' obama, who's filling more seats than most of those big names you wish were there -- were enough to impress even you, mr. koppelman.

    pick a lane, sir: either be snarky or go for straight, objective journalism. your lil' bit at the end effectively missed the mark on both.
