Well, there's Really Big News out of da House o' Raj today, and the emails, links and traffic be pourin' in to Peasant Manor to see if I've gone Postal yet.
Shame on all of you.
But since you're here, let me just ask a couple of questions of those of you who thought I was full of shit back in '05...
Who called it from DAY fucking ONE?
Who?
I did.
And who got it 100% fucking RIGHT?
Who?
I did.
Right?
Fuckin' A, Baby!
So, all you Fools, Wannabes and Groupies... what spent the second half of 2005 and the first half of 2006 slurpin' Roger L. Simon's dumb ass because you thought he was gonna take you to the Promised Land...
How'd that work out?
Eh?
Now... for those of you who thought I was full of shit back in '05:
How 'bout kissin' my fat white ass?
For those of you looking for thoughtful analysis:
Blah, blah, blah, blogging, yak, yak, yak, money...
Hope that suffices.
I did that shit years ago and am really, really, really not interested in doing it again. If you have to have it, click on "Mockery: Ragging on Raj" and "Money and the Blogosphere" and start reading. There is some wheat amongst the chaff; sorting through it is your problem, not mine.
Over and fucking out.
Clarification: I am not suggesting Ann Althouse slurped Roger L. Simon. Far from it. The fact of the matter is this: Ann publicly called Da Raj on his shit before I did. In double fact, she was the first blogger to call him on his shit, period. For that alone I hold her in very high esteem. Indeed, in my book only Ann, Moxie, Steve H. Graham, Tim Blair and Laurence Simon figured it out at the appropriate time. If memory serves, it was Andrew Breitbart, John Cole and some bimbo called The Anchoress that did most of the slurping. Hope they're having a nice day.
Over and fucking out.
Truth. to. Power.
et fucking cetera.

I don't think "power" means what you think it means Guesst. More like truth to wankers. Of course the biggest wanker is the guy who ponied up $7 million for Da Raj's scam.

Well, at least you don't seem to have conflicted feelings about it...

Not to change the subject or anything, but is that a spittoon in the lower left of the picture?

I was wondering if you were going to comment on this. Heh.
As the saying goes, Schadenfreude is the schoenest freude.

Herr Doktor-
Yes. That is a solid brass spittoon.
No. I don't use it.
Posted by: Dennis The Peasant | January 31, 2009 at 04:18 PM
Dennis your spittoon isn't worth spit, so to speak. OTH I hear Da Raj owns the original spittoon that sat next to Wild Bill Hickock's chair in that saloon in Deadwood the day he was shot. It's probably worth $20, $25 on Ebay today though my guess he paid a lot more for it when he "invested" in it a few years ago. Might have helped if the wife didn't drill holes in it to use it as a planter.

I inquired about advertising on pajamas media recently. We are a new company with not much free money, but we saw that either All, or All but one, of the slots were being used by PJTV, thus no Revenue.
We thought the prices were a little high. We asked about "Remnant advertising" which would mean for a reduced cost, PJM would put our add up when they had no other paying customers. Believe me, I'm no advertising guru, but my partners girlfriend is one in NYC. She's the one that told everybody does it. Advertising space is a sunk cost and needs to generate income at all times, no matter the level.
The sales guy emailed back a link to their pricing matrix. We didn't buy. Continued to see PJTV ads.

Most profound comment I've seen on the Interwebs today.

THE FACE ONE! Sheesh.

And you're the peasant! It is such a joy when the unspeakably awful get what's coming to them. They cry, they moan, they wet their pj's.
I'm laughing myself sick here!

Uh, nice desk????? ^_^

I just KNEW I'd find something of this sort here.
Heh.

Have you and your doctor had a conversation about 17.5 inch collars?
Posted by: blowback | February 01, 2009 at 06:37 AM
You mean 18.5 inch collars?

That CPA cert was worth every fucking penny.

"For those of you looking for thoughtful analysis"
One of the great things about them old days, (as a minor member/benchwarmer) of the Bring Some Extra Skewers to the BBQ Brigade. Was how much fun it was [inspite of how truly atrociously unfun, some of the skewered were to be around (virtually)].
Minor note: tis a touch o' bad form to ever mention "If memory serves, it was Andrew Breitbart, ____ ____ and some bimbo called The Anchoress that did most of the slurping."
Kinda like mentioning (the name of) John Lennon's murderer (both being really pathetic nauseating life forms).
Glad you were around then Kenton, lifting. Helping to lighten the load, with laughter.
Thanks, Elmo

Sonicfrog-
Solid walnut and cherry. I've been told it's worth somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000... although I have no intention of selling it.
Posted by: Dennis The Peasant | February 01, 2009 at 03:55 PM
To be fair John Cole never saw PJM for anything more than it was, he made some money off of it and now that it's all collapsed he's pretty indifferent. It was all the other dinks on your list who thought they were on the ground floor of the new Apple Microsoft's first PO.
And Althouse is an idiot, c'mon, you have to know that.
