    Epic, indefensible drool.

    And what does this make Delta, for publishing this tripe?

    I'm pretty sure at this point he just writes anything anti-tech. His most recent column on Twitter sounds like the only thing he knows about it is that athletes use Twitter and that they use Twitter on their phones. STOP THIS NEW-FANGLED MEDIUM!

    That was a pretty nice smackdown.

    Be honest. Seems like a bunch of folks here would like to take a sharp pair of shears to Mitch.

    The author is Myatt Murphy, whose own website -- myattmurphy.com -- is as much of a self-fellating testament to his own self-importance as Dwarf.com.

    "In 2007, Murphy breaks ground in several different genres to expand his writing experience even further. Some of the upcoming projects in development include several illustrated children’s books, a humorous non-fiction service book and a fiction novel. "

    And a fiction-laded magazine piece to boot.

    As opposed to a non-fiction novel.

    Or, the ultimate . . . fictional non-fiction. You take it from there.

    A fiction novel, while redundant, is at least an attempt at honesty. That's something that continues to escape Mr. Albom.

    This may be old news to most, but I went through Albom's original apology piece after the infamous Mateen Cleaves/Jason Richardson column for the first time just now. What a self-serving douche.

    A couple lowlights:

    I'd never seen anybody backpedal by running forward before. In his little munchkin-sized mind of minds, I don't think he thinks he did anything wrong.
