Pajamas Aid

I've been thinking...

You know, I really think it's a real tragedy that the blogosphere may lose Protein Wisdom just because Raj and The Poodle have decided the best way to New Media riches is by adopting the business strategies of Pinch Sulzberger. I think something has to be done. Now, I don't know Jeff Goldstein, and what little I've heard from other bloggers suggests that he doesn't care for either me or my site, but that's not the point. The point is that he's got talent, and given we're in a blogosphere where morons like Amanda Marcotte are considered thought-provoking, edgy humorists by half of the great foul-smelling herd, we can't afford to lose him or his site.

So what I'm thinking of doing is turning Dennis The Peasant into Pajamas Aid until we can raise enough money to keep Goldstein blogging.

To this end, I've put in a phone call to Algore, to see if he'd host the thing, but of course he's snowed in at a Global Warming Conference in Dubai and won't be able to call me back until later this week. I figure we could get the Dixie Chicks, John Mellencamp, U2 and the road tour cast of "The Vagina Monologues" together with, say, Wayne Newton, Justin Timberlake, and Ozzy Osbourne and put on an internet show... just like Mickey and Judy would have done. We could even get the neo-Nazi that designed John McCain's web site to help with sets and give it that weighty, gotterdammerung feel you need for anything connected to Pajamas Media.

And given that Pajamas Media was, at one time, half way to being renamed Springtime for Hitler Media, the possibilities are close to endless, theme-wise:

Who knows, maybe Amanda knows a good Lesbian Ballet troupe that is looking for a gig. You never can see "Down with the Musky Snake People" too many times...

Of course, you could just go to Protein Wisdom and hit the tip jar.

Pajamas Aid- LOL!

But InstaPudding beat you to it- he’s given PW a LINK today, a juicy good link! OK, it’s a mutually satisfying one ‘cause Jeff posted in support of Glenn in a stupid political-academic dispute, and in return Glenn has given a little love back to Jeff, which is self-serving to Glenn, of course. And so the PJMasturbation Corp. still jerks along. Blogs gone bad, not even wild, unfortunately, with an “I’ll do you if you do me” kind of high integrity and desperation. To see smart guys do such things in full view...

We thank the virtual god that Dennis has standards, that his posts screw around in unholier, funnier and less unnatural ways.

If Glenn is part of ownership, and I'm pretty Goddamn sure he is, he held that axe along with Raj and The Poodle.

That makes it all about Glenn trying to feel better about himself.

You scared me enough to hit his tip jar.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Jeff Goldstein that stay at home dad who claims he has a big dick and threatens to tackle his critics and slap them across the face with it? If so let's get him together with Amanda. The resulting explosion ought to make even the Iraqis stop blowing each other up for an hour or two.

Not to be dense, but why would the blogosphere lose Goldstein? No PJM, he can sell blog ads again.

I think he enjoys all the adulation and pleading for him to stay.

That's not to say that PJM aren't scum.

Are those pictures from the college play you starred in?

I'm just holding out to see how many Reichmarks they offer me to renew.

I know of at least one major advertiser that was interested in my catblogging, but never got an answer out of PJM.

Not sure whether it was deliberate, Spam filters, or just sheer incompetence that boofed that deal, but it'll be interesting come April 1st.
