Martha Stewart
Alton Brown, alive and kicking after his 2004 hospital scare, wasted no time in kicking at the dead horse that was Martha Stewart. Luckily for us, Brown is as good a ranter as he is TV host (that is to say, talented and funny), and his open letter to her (previously on his rants page but now archived) was quite well done. I especially liked this bit of insight: “People say you’re mean—so what? So was Sinatra.”
