Blegging Update

Monday, February 24th, 2003

Fifteen donors, a little over two hundred bucks.

And one very pissed off reader.

I can’t retire any time soon. But, frankly, I say not bad. Better than I expected, anyway.

Warm, hearty thank yous to those of you who gave. If you’re still thinking about giving, please note: the deadline is….well….never.

    You’re doing better than me.
    I begged my dozen or so readers for some money to help me purchase the Detroit Lions. I didn’t get squat.

    How much does TCS and Foxnews pay? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Not nearly enough for you to accuse me of corporate whoring, Barney.

    Less than $100 per column.

    Hey, you remember me! I must have gotten your hypocrisy cherry.

    If you stop by my site and look at the excerpted hatred directed at Ann Coulter I posted, you’ll see there’s prosperity but not self respect in the profession of media whore.

    I won’t post comments here any more, it seems to bugger–I mean bug you. I’ll leave less than $100 on the dresser.

    I don’t mind you leaving comments at all, nor do I particularly mind Ann Coulter bashing. I do a little of it myself.

    But whenever I’ve seen MWO mention me, it’s usually part of an attack. Which is fine. But because you asked how much Fox and TCS pay me, I thought I’d anticipate where you were going with the question, and launch a preemptive defense.

    Pre-emptive defense? That’s not very libertarian of you. You’re supposed to wait until you are actually attacked.

    You may also want to consult the rest of blog community to determine if the “Pending Argument” is justified. I wouldnt be surprised if they send blog inspectors.

    You wouldn’t want to act unilaterally, Radley.
