Dodgers' post-game show host Ken Levine lets the city's least favorite cable provider have it with both blog barrels after a late-night phone exchange with the, so to speak, help line. Excerpt:

Rep: Our system is down. I can’t pull up your account.

Me: Does that mean the internet is down too?

Rep: I don’t know.

Me: Would you know if there’s a general problem in my area or it’s just me who’s having trouble?

Rep: I don’t know.

Me: Can you check?

Rep: No. Because my system is down.

Me: Are you getting an inordinate amount of calls from people in my area with the same problem?

Rep: I don’t know. The system is down.

Me: Can you ask the person in the next cubicle if she’s getting a lot of calls?

Rep: No. I can’t do that.

Best is when she says that the system is down every night. Meanwhile, another local blogger gets some ink at Time.com: the 99 Cent Chef.
