just asking for info. none forthcoming. what is their share and what is amazon's share. "because, reasons" is glib, condescending shit. also, not squealing, stamping my little feet or any other tantrum you might think to accuse me of. i'm asking a simple question mostly prompted by an article about corporate greed. " Talk about your corporate greed, look at this Amazon right here. Got your suppressed workers, got your non-union stance with dirty tricks ready to bust any attempts to unionise, and it's got your Easy-Rider Rifle Rack with room for not one but three of your favorite bleats from Wonkette at to why you should ignore the evil that Amazon does and do your Amazon purchases here, "because reasons"Thank you Cheech And Chong and your "Waiting For Dave" "And now back to our movie, "The Jackson Five Story, starring, . . . The Osmond Brothers!"Listen to it before you bleat about how non-sensical this seems to be.

And there is the answer that affirms my resolve to not donate to a NEWS site that can't be transparent about its funding. These comment screeds are monitored and almost certainly someone who actually could answer the basic question has chosen not to.

The so-called nursery rhyme is actually a take from "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf" as Martha mocks George further. You were being mocked.You have confirmed the base intent of Wonkette. Make money. And why not indeed? When however, their 'news' illuminates their hypocrisy, a few might be willing to point it out. Sheep away if you choose. I choose to not.

"Georgie Porgie Put-Upon Pie" is not the nursery rhyme. It's a take from a film which used words from the nursery rhyme and expanded on them, as authors will do, to add to dialogue between husband and wife in which scene the wife further mocks her husband.

You were being mocked Georgie Porgie Put-Upon Pie.I used words from a play/movie to mock you, as Martha mocked George.Do try to keep up.

Well, still waiting for Doc to chime in, though not likely, as my initial observation remains the same. A news site that runs an article about the building power that huge corporations have over workers that gets a degree of its financing from one of the worst, Amazon; and (Oxford semi-colon, haha) is owned by a person with the net worth of $4M engages in an act of extreme hypocrisy, all while continually crying poverty merits at least one voice to shine a light on the journalistic fraud.

Yeah, kicked off of Raw Story for deriding Burris's sloppy writing, their seemingly utter lack of editing, being gray-listed for mentioning uBlockOrigin and mocking (not in the Martha fashion) their constant groveling for donations.One would think that journalists would have thicker skins and a litany of retorts!And back to the latest, Doc don't give a shit 'cause plenty give despite the hypocrisy.I engage in my own journalistic efforts in my own way.As long as you remain my foil, I remain with a voice and, (Oxford comma) entertained.When you tire, there will be another.

donating, yes. Wikipedia, St Judes, time and money-their return to their mission last I knew above 90%, local food bank, time and money, HFH no longer as they are now a de facto corporation.

As Kahn said having grown weary of Kirk, said, "I grow fatigued." One of THE best lines. (he actually wasn't, he was faking)

in the original series episode Kahn does indeed say, "I grow fatigued." If you have a correction, please provide, otherwise, well . . .

didn't actually have to look it up, I remember from only having seen the rerun a billion times. That portion was all I needed to say what i had to, that is, in order to mock you further.

Schoenkoph's $4m net worth and publishing articles about rapacious corporations while funding their site partly by one of the worst, Amazon. The height of hypocrisy. fo, already. You have nothing real to say, Put-Upon-Pie. Yawn.

All you have to do is look it up under her name and the information is there. As well, I have a client with a PI license who verified the info. It really is simple, ton.
