Wait, so offering low-quality commentary to a dwindling audience of reactionaries is not a winning business model?

Get the flub out!

Wasn’t he just saying, like, yesterday that he was dropping out of his blog because people were being mean to him?

I mean, it’s got to suck when you’re supplanted in your chix suck niche by some broad, but if you aren’t planning to keep up your blog, I suspect the lack of advertising won’t be an issue.

Jane’s gonna be getting a missive from Jeff any day now, just you wait.

Life, or as Jeff calls it “the other” continually betrays him. Actually I feel sorry for the guy. I mean, all us other bloggers are making gazillions of dollars and, even with all of my blogging millions, Apple took like three weeks to deliver my solid platinum Mac.

Hell, who knew that the genius that is Charles Johnson and Roger Simon wouldn’t be able to turn Bedwetters’ Media into the blogging capital of teh intertubes.

Never has so much venture capital been spent to so little effect…well, ok, since the dot-com bubble, anyway.

I mean, all us other bloggers are making gazillions of dollars

That’s because you play to the cheap seats. Where’s your derivative HST armadillo fiction? I thought you liberals supported artists.

Or ex-grad-students.

Close enough.

Also, the part where he begs mercy from Ace o’ Spades, doesn’t hear back in 15 minutes, and promptly insults him: best.

I think we found the silver lining to the recession.

Anyone for a pool on when “pjtv” folds its tent?

Breitbart isn’t returning my calls. But I’m ready to go gonzo, if somebody’s willing to back me.

Stick a mic in my hand and get me access. THEN STAND BACK, BITCHES!

Word fail.

Another economic causality by the Obama war on the economy.

I still think it’s Bill Clinton’s fault.

Here comes another Jeffy fundraiser in 3… 2… 1…

They may be quarterly, but he the server needs the money… don’t ya know. The guy sure knows how to bleg.

Jeff missed the memo about how to be a suckcesspool conservative innertubes superstar. Can’t anybody loan him a pair of conical breasties or an oxycontin habit?

Somewhere there’s an economic model to follow in that tale:

Guy who’s pretty funny and conservative (a difficult to find mix) gets a big head, becomes touchy, joins a franchise of some sort, becomes extra touchy, mostly quits his job, lets some other much-less-funny people take over his job, his business becomes less and less interesting, and the franchise dumps him.

Pajamas Media isn’t CNN, the AP, or even something that Sean Hannity- and Glen Beck-supporting over-moneyed asshole Rupert would want to own. There’s just no money in a business made up of commentary done by third-rate minds, no matter how funny they can be sometimes. When Joe the Doofus went to the Holy Land and the results were less-than-miraculous, the whole thing became worse than a laughingstock. Wise investers, if they hadn’t bailed months ago, saw their money going “poofftt!” and got the hell out while they could. And did not renew.

I wish Glenn Reynolds would appear before him in a vision. Glen would appear in a white suit, emerge from a foggy cloud, be joined by a chorus composed of white-clad women, and sing:

Graduate school dropout
(chorus repeats)
Go back to semiotics
Graduate school dropout
(chorus repeats)
Go back to that program

Your site now sucks
Your friends are bores, and boors,
and slobs and worse
Your funding source has dried and now
Your wife she hides her purse

Graduate school dropout
(chorus repeats)
Go back to semiotics and take some electives in econ

Dude was funny in his day, got hit and miss when he became a formula in search of a thematic framing device, gave it up because of a stalker, now wants to display his kung fu grip more than discuss politics, and pretty much gave up his business for a combination of greed and entitlement. Now the site isn’t raking in money, the backers are unhappy, and he’s out a job. Wingnut welfare reform: is it possible?

Can’t wait until Jeffrey goes gonzo on video, and I think it would be a big advertising success for him. Think of how many people would love to actually watch him cockslap his opponents and fuck their dogs. And it’s all “Brought to you by Roche Laboratories, makers of tranqs for cranks!”

Sebastião Salgado

That picture is so cool I had to look it up.

Oh, and Pajamas Media? Haw haw

Awesome, is it? I think not.

Think about it, you dirty fucking hippies. If all wingnut blogs go down in flames, where are TBogg and Sadly, No! going to get their blogging material from in the future from, huh? Huh? Yeah.

I beg you to think of Michelle Malkin without feeling slightly nauseated. But will you? No.

Now I know what Doughy Pantload Jonah Goldberg the esteemed gitwad not-liberal not-Fascist meant by biting people as they walked by whatever he was talking about.

Fascist lettuce, bitchez!

Uh oh. Sounds like Roger will make it on the Leper-Bouncy Ball-Silly Putty-Dunkin Donuts kefiyah list. To the barricades!

Tessio offers a shoulder to cry on.

Nothing personal Jeff, it is just business.

YEAH, the PJM ad-network model isn’t working. I don’t have much to do with the PJM business side, but online ads just aren’t producing revenue like they were a few years ago, and the blog-network thing was apparently a tough sell. Hence the emphasis on PJTV. How will that work out? Stay tuned.

Heh.

If Jeff was smart he’d go PUMA.

IDEA:

Why don’t Jeff and Dan team up and open up an on-line correspondence thingy?
a School of Assholes Athens, if you will…

If Jeff was smart he’d go PUMA.

Or Palin. That’s where the real rube-soaking action is.

Oh my. Where will Joe the Plumber go now?

I was one of the original pajama bloggers. I thought PJM was going to rival AP, UPI, Reuters. –Atlas Juggs

Stop, you’re killing me.

Here’s more from Pammy:

Can you imagine if I were given 20% of what was invested in PJM? I am one person. No assistants, no interns, no editors, nuthin. I would have had bands of free men roving the world reporting into Atlas central. TV, video, newsletters, action alerts, campaign headquarters — serious ass whuppin.

You can’t make this stuff up.

I blame the financial mess. Not for sucking precious capital away from Pajamas Media, but for giving us all new things to be afraid of. American terror is a commodity. When tangible fear starvation and homelessness corner the market, there’s not a lot of room left over for fantasies about Osama ibn Laden and his armies of illegal non-white immigrants setting up a weapons-of-mass-destruction factory in a basement in Cedar Falls, Iowa. And, if we judge Dr. Helen’s ability to make rational financial choices by her ability to choose men, we’re not paying attention anymore. Personally, I don’t need personal advice about my sucky marriage. I know what’s wrong with that–I suck as a husband and my wife sucks as a wife and we either need to live with it or get out. I need advice on how to insulate a cardboard box and under which overpass to start living in it.

Also, c’mon. The word “sharia” just means road or street. “al-Sharia” means “The Path” and is used to refer to fiqh.

Pammy: Can you imagine if I were given 20% of what was invested in PJM?

She could teach legions of nieces in poorly choreographed hate-karaoke videos. And even the brain-damaged soulless investors who backed JammiesSpammies have limits to the putridity of their tastes.

As for Jeff: consider a walk on the wild side. Us liberals are broke but we still have good reasons for bein’ nekkid.

Whoa there, you mean there’s not an endless market for Goldstein writing about semiotics and his cock? And those wonderful “creative” pieces, my favorite of which went something like:

.
.
.
boop
.

.

wha?

What a delight. Add Dan Collins’ anti-social, scumbag rantings about women and to my mind you’ve got AD REVENUE FOREVAR!!

Sebastião Salgado

Splendid, thanks for the link.

One of the side-effects of the advent of digital photography is the dearth of modern black and white. It makes Salgado’s stuff that much more compelling.

Uh … Pajamas who?

“Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’ — Billy Preston.

Pammy: Can you imagine if I were given 20% of what was invested in PJM?

Umm … buy stock in box wine?

PHASE I: Collect underpants.

PHASE II: ?????? (Eat underpants?)

PHASE III: Profits!!!!!!!

Yaaaaaa Team PAYAMAS!

My guess is that she’d get all her neices and perhaps Michelle Malkin together and create an on-Broadway “opera” called “Springtime for Cheney”. Unlike the scenario in the producers she’d likely oversubscribe it thinking that the ads on Rush Limbaugh’s show would draw millions of the faithful to overcrowd the SRO sections. Instead the few relatives of the young girls sitting forelornly in the loges above the empty seats throw themselves into the abyss into the Orchestra pit (destroying the piano being hammered by Condileeza Rice) when Frau Atlas starts to caterwaul her aria of despair.

Thanks for the link. Tbogg always finds cool stuff to illustrate this blog. That’s why he got the platinum Mac.

I think the name, Pajamas Media, might not instill the kind of respect Jeff had in mind.

Oh, he says “goodbye, cruel blog” every couple of months or so, then discovers a new ridiculous jihad to keep him going.

Meanwhile the ad revenue at my place has dried up too, from “nothing” to “nothing.” So I’ll have to find some way, somehow, to soldier on.

Or I could get off my lazy ass and finally put some ads up. THe only reason I don’t is I’m lazy, for true…

perhaps Foxnews.com is holding a contract option for him. Perhaps Murdoch and Ailes will bail out PJTV? Or maybe Joe’ll go work for Pammy over at Atlas Trips

The wingnut welfare train is leaving the station……Christ, does this mean even more concentrated wingnut goodness at Faux Snooze?
That place is going to bd stuffed like a boat full of refugees.

hmmmmm *sniffing wind*

Alternatively…. mebbe just a snappy new theme song?

Oh-oh part on you sea, by the dam’s cool dude site,
Whut so prodigal hailed war, so gallop on screaming.

Who knew hype in brite stars through the parable blight,
Or the ram parts we ditched where so brave as to scream.

Angst, duh rock stars’ fake hair, the bards gulping in air,
Bore fruit at such height, that the highchair’s still there.

Oy vey, d’oh, gack, [garbled] it banish yet fave,
Or the grandstand of the fee and the flip of a wave.

[gimme a break. it needs a little work. anyone?]

There are some VERY special comments over there…

I love clicking on AdSense ads. Also I like the Amazon thing where people tell me about stuff I could buy and own and it would be mine. I don’t watch tv or read print so I need help with that stuff. A lot of my favorite things started out as products.

Words fail me…

I’m sorry but I could never take anything named “Pajamas Media” that seriously. What’s the matter? “Nappy-time Daddy” was already taken as a name?

Fail me, too. Poor thing. Bless her heart.

I think they might have been planning on “Fuzzy Footy Bloggy-Time Funhouse” but that was apparently taken too…

Pajamas Media always made sense in a Freudian and non-Freudian way.

I know Roger’s first wife.

Douche doesn’t begin to describe him.

A lot of my favorite things started out as products.

don’t.want.to.know.

When we started with our RNC coverage from Minneapolis, we noted that we would be in a Beta Phase through the first quarter of 2009.

Great way to start, and shows the sloppiness of their work. The convention was in St. Paul, a completely different city. Have they yet gone to Fort Worth to cover Bush’s whites-only community in Dallas?

Millions? You only get blogging millions? Why, I made eleventy-five-point-umpteen billion last year, and George Soros personally injects heroin into my arm every six hours. Lightweight!

Actually, it’s an easy mistake to make, considering most conventiongoers didn’t see much of St. Paul beyond the inside of the Xcel Center. Buses loaded them up and whisked them off to downtown Minneapolis for lunch and dinner; they were all over the skyways in the daytime.

…you are just the first waive.

Waive. If that is a coined word combining wave and waif, I like it.

This guy, Rush, Hitler there does seem to be a pattern find someone who blames others for his failure ’s who is perpetually angry and them give them a platform to the public.
Not being to bright helps.

Can’t they load up with fat stomach ads?

(seriously now… how far from Xmas Holiday feasts do we have to get before those ads disappear? They’re icky.)

Is this the beginning of the end advertisers don’t like reaching 22% of their audience. They don’t like being tied to Hate.
Rush’s comment I hope Obama fails must have scared advertisers into worrying about African American backlash Boycotts.
Sure when the economy was good they could laugh at boycotts now not so much

Wingnut welfare reform

Brilliant.

Oh my god, that is the funniest thing I have heard in weeks!

The liberal side may have occasional fits of unwarranted blog triumphalism, but clearly this is one area where we can’t compete with the wingnuts.

The moment I saw this, I wondered if Dennis the Peasant would have anything to say about it.

And indeed he does.

like i said the last time he quit, who’s going to slap our faces with his cock now?

Oh, good lord. Pam, honey, your inlaws bought you the freaking New York Observer to play with and you parlayed it into… er… no longer running the New York Observer. Somebody else’s large money + major New York publication + you = vlogging.

No, really. There are a lot of things astonishingly stupid about this experiment in wingnut welfare through venture capital, but just don’t.

I told you the working for a living and supporting your family thing was going to stand in the way of hegemony for the family Whiskey Fire, but nobody listens.

Oh, trust me, as long as the intertubes are around, there’ll be wingnuts.

I remember ridiculing Stormfront dickwads in 1997 on Usenet.

In the meantime, come to TBogg for the snark, stay for the schadenfreude.

I sorta liked it meaning “set aside” or “dismiss” heh heh.

Man, that graphic is makng some long-ago-singed brain cells fire back up…

I was at a Talking Heads concert once, and alongside the t-shirts they were selling Jerry Harrison’s solo album, Casual Gods. I bought it (on cassette, duh!) mainly because the cover art was so friggin’ cool. All the desperate people like little ants, it reminded me of that movie where Bogey was a scrounging gold miner, ummm Treasure of Sierra Madre.

Pass the bong now please, I’m exhausted from the workout.

Details? Details? Come on, you can’t leave me in suspense like this. I mean, we all knew Roger was a douche, but a little evidentiary noodling would be … awesome!

Fabulous. I always knew there was something to the competition of the marketplace meme. I think we’re on to something.

>come to TBogg for the snark, stay for the schadenfreude.

Perfect.

My father never would have believed that a guy whose major schtick is bragging about “cock slapping” semi-publicly would be a demi-celebrity in today’s world. It’s science fiction, folks, sort of like one of the more offbeat episodes of the original Star Trek or the Twilight Zone.

I thought I’d check in with the Anchoress who’s been a PJM blogger from way back and see how she was taking it.

True to form, she’s being her usual saintly self and is rising above it all although she finds it all a wee bit irritating and feels she isn’t quite suited to the shallow looks-obsessed soundbite world of PJ TV but she hopes that as a blogger she has made a wee bit of difference in her own small way.

You know, I’d rather tackle Pam Geller at her most shriekingly bat-crazy insane than have to read any more of the Anchoress’s mewlings.

One wingnut blogger down, a few hundred more to go. Just turn on the kitchen light and the little bugger’s will run like crazy!

Billy also asked “Will It go ‘Round in Circles?”

When discussing wingnut logic, the answer will always be yes. Circle jerks.

For posterity, here’s the permalink, and here’s why Dennis the Peasant is none too bashful about saying “I told you so”.

Even as a disinterested, if amused, onlooker I realized that the guy had a point, and that the folks who didn’t knew even less about how businesses work than I do.

Whoever wrote this one (#294) deserves one free internet.

Comment by Horrible Leftist on 1/31 @ 3:24 pm #

I’m not ROTFLMAO, I swear I’m not. It doesn’t make me giddy. I’m not inclined to think that a liberal is a wingnut who learned that wingnuts are defined by their greed, arrogance, and disloyalty. I don’t believe that there is no whiner like a wingnut scorned, and I am not tittering as I write this. Honest, none of those thoughts have run across my mind. If they did, I would banish them, because those thoughts would be wrong.

Woah. Tell all!
