For some reason, Reynolds is a star.  I tried to watch one of his online video things where he, Malkin, and that empty toolbelt unPlumber discussed something or other.  I’m sure the remaining investors see comedy gold and serious insight in whatever the hell those guys made, but I have a feeling that the New York Times will someday buy Pajamas Media and make it what it was intended: something to put people comfortably to sleep.

By the way, what’s the stock price of PJM?  Is it on the NASDAQ?  Will Notjoe Notplumber go to Afghanistan to explain indoor plumbing to the locals?  When will Malkin examine the countertops at the White House?  Will Reynold’s head be bigger than Barry Bonds’ soon?  (And I don’t mean “bigger” as a metaphor.)

Indeedilydoodily.

Should a guy who’s constantly railing about the awesomeness of the free market be relying on tenure to make sure he’s able to pay the bills? Reynolds is one of those douchemonkeys who’s never quite ready to walk the talk in his own life.

Should a political party which aided and abetted the ruin of the American economy for the last 8-years (20-years? 30-years?) be talking shit about the other party’s actions in Congress to stem the bleeding and help the patient recover?  No, of course not.  They should STFU and step aside.

But they didn’t and they won’t.

It doesn’t matter how huge the beam in their own eyes is, they will always be 100% fixated on the mote in somebody else’s…

He writes lots of stupid shit. I’m glad someone has pointed this out.

I’m sorry, I’ll write a full essay next time on how this relates to the larger conservative ethos that old media is failing because it lacks the business sense to sustain its liberal hegemony while simultaneously failing at all such efforts to replace it, despite having declared it dead for the past decade or so. 

Or I could just write a funny post.

“Or I could just write a funny post.”

Please!  The other shit we already know.  Something funny we need desperately…

KnowDoubt, wow. That’s off the rails. I suppose it never occurred to her that the clerk “stammered” because screaming customers (who are pro-gun ownership and proud of it, no less) are terrifying in their own right.

Funny, but don’t all wingnuts think that tenure is a bad thing ... unless it just happens to provide them with a decent baseline income and freedom to say whatever nonsense they choose to spew?

Should a guy whose site is hosted by a company whose entire revenue-generating stream went bye bye (well, never really existed) really be mocking the New York Times for having a low stock price?

Yes.  Because it reaffirms the fact that he is an ignorant douche.

People, let us honour our opoponents.  A minute’s silence, if you will, for the demise of this noble company and the upcoming unemployment of all its participants.

...

Okay, who the hell was that sniggering? I’m ashamed of you.

Piator, you crack me up.

(raises his hand, trying to fight down the smile playing at the corners of his mouth)

Piator, you crack me up

Have we dated?  Usually, it’s seeing me naked that has that effect on women.

Also, I can’t understand how it went under with such an awesome business plan:

i, Post stuff involving wingnuts bitching at each other about liberals.
ii, ???
iii, Profit!

It doesn’t matter how huge the beam in their own eyes is, they will always be 100% fixated on the mote in somebody else’s…

Very well put, MikeEss.  But I gotta say, that particular passage of the Bible you reference has to be among the weirdest.  How is it possible to walk around with a beam in your eye?  And if somehow you had a beam in your eye and, for whatever reason, opted not to remove it, wouldn’t you be too distracted to notice anything, much less a mote in someone else’s eye?

Hey Norbizness, we fucking get it.  We’re all wasting our valuable time by mocking wingnuts.  There’s something wrong with us because we enjoy having a chuckle at our enemies’ expense.  They are not at all the vanguard of rightwing philosophy, and there is no benefit in making them look ridiculous.  We get it already!  You’ve become a smug asshole!  Congrats!

PiaToR, the plan was:

i, Post stuff involving wingnuts bitching at each other about liberals.
ii, Collect millions upon millions in wingnut welfare.
iii, Find a spot in the court of the Sun President-for-life Commander-in-Chief Bush.

Now that the permanent Republican majority has evaporated, so has the funding.

How is it possible to walk around with a beam in your eye?  And if somehow you had a beam in your eye and, for whatever reason, opted not to remove it, wouldn’t you be too distracted to notice anything, much less a mote in someone else’s eye?

That’s kinda the point.

To elaborate - though the topic of the post itself is a perfect example - think of the Republicans nominating Sarah Palin - an anti-choice, utterly inexperienced pathological liar who used to charge rape victims for their rape kits back when she was mayor of Wasilla - as their VP choice because hell, anything with a pussy will pull them dumb-broad Hillary voters away from Obama…and then accusing Democrats of being sexist when someone gives her an interview that isn’t an infomercial. 

Jesus liked parables.  More entertaining than dry preaching, with imagery you can remember.  Sure, he could’ve just said “Don’t judge other people for their little flaws when you won’t deal with your great gaping ones”, and he did.  But then he added the imagery so people would remember, and you have to admit, it worked.

to answer the question NO.

But god that is funny.  will these soothsayers for the selfish now admit that the irrefutable and mystical might of “the market” has pronounced the worth of syndicated “conservative thought”. 

I am grinning ear to ear at this news.
