Scott Bremner is the granddaddy of all Erie bloggers. Scott has been consistently writing an internet-only column for GoErie.com since 1998, having won awards over the years. This, of course, is in addition to his day job of news anchor for WSEE-TV.

He was a blogger before the word was created.

Scott’s writing in his blog, formally known as Under The Hat, allows us a window into his psyche that the sound-bite formula of television never will. There’s a lot of wit and wisdom in those pixels.

His understanding of the community’s current mood was dead on in his post from right before Christmas titled Adios 2009! Here’s a portion:

How much “cash” did you really get for your “clunker?”

We lost dollars in our savings accounts, friends in our workplaces and companies in our communities.

We lost John Kanzius to cancer, Michael Jackson to drugs and Brittany Murphy to “natural causes.”

We lost national anchor Walter Cronkite to the ravages of time and I lost my WSEE co-anchor Jacqueline Policastro to the bright lights of Indianapolis.

Now that’s a crappy year.

The pro’s insight and candor ensures that Scott Bremner’s blog remains an ErieBlogs must-read.
