Blantant misuse of hotness

Bloggers are not the most attractive people in the world. They are pudgy-fugly nerds that sit at their computers all day watching their gut grow and their chances for a real woman fade as they blog about things as inane as Red Robin openings.

Well, the Fresno Bee has an exception: Heather Mclane. Even more impressive is, the lady can write too. She's the funniest blogger in Fresno and the Bee is under-utilizing her.

She should be doing something in the printed version of the Bee - other than appearing in full blown adds for her Beehive Blog.

Hey! Bee Overlords. How about a column for the girl? I would love to hear her rip on Fresno celebs...other than K-Fed. Or, what about a weekly video of Heather musing about something Fresnerdy?

It could be like this popular weekly vidblog from (also nice tah look at) Jessie Cantrell:

Owning a Downtown Fresno Bar is Scary

It's lookin' like Downtown Fresno bar Fagans is closing. Go check out Mike Oz's blog at the Fresno Beehive for the details.

You'll find an open letter by the owner of Fagan's explaining what has gone wrong. It will scare the shit out of you if you're thinking of opening up a Fresno resturant. Check out some of what she says:

"I never imagined how much theft goes on (like bartenders who gave away free drinks,for better tips) (waitress's who thought money should go into their pockets ,rather than the cash drawer) (Customers who skipped out on paying)

I never imagined the volume of people who think because I am downtown, I should gives away everything for free or next to free. How many people tried to bring in their own food and beverage.or come in, just for Free water with Lemons ,Cherries and Straws (like we could pay the PGE on that) How bazaar !

Downtown Workers who felt food items should be under $5. and then try and split a $5.00 meal.(asking for extra bread ) Because they felt because it's downtown ,it should be cheaper !"
