Sweet Jeebus, AOL has agreed to purchase popular liberal/Brangelina Internet destination "The Huffington Post" for $315 million! Why does AOL think this is a wise investment? And will Arianna Huffington's citizen journalists continue to Win the Afternoon, with the hottest hot scoops ("D-List Celebrity Has Boobs" and "Ten Things You Didn't Know About Celebrities Who Have Boobs" and "BREAKING: So Many Boobs!")? There is probably a HuffPo "personality quiz" and/or slideshow that can answer both of these important questions. [
I am sort of assuming that AOL's money is expected to come from a huge payoff, once they help some Nigerians with some simple bank transactions.
I'm guessing that AOL top brass were attracted to the HuffPo by its editorial position against corporate control of America's political, financial, and cultural life.
Yeah...I reckon that if we get shut down I'll just move the whole thing to my living room. Sorry assholes...this is a private party, fuck along now.
Speaking of the Superbowl, which reminds me of half-time, which reminds me of Justin Bieber...
I run a small open mic in a coffee shop in my town. It's basically just a bunch of middle aged dudes playing folk, traditional, and original music. My friend the owner got a call last week from BMI telling her that she has to pay $1000/year fee because she has live music in her shop. I was telling this to my music teacher (a working musician), and he says it gets worse. BMI's fees go only to those songs that are played on the radio on a percentage. Granted, Tom Waits and John Prine might make it on to an "adult contemporary" station from time to time, and they'll get a tiny cut...however, most of the money goes to the likes of Justin Bieber (or rather, the person who writes his songs).
OT, I know...but I'm still pissed that because some little rat fuck and his ilk (or rather, BMI - a different kind of rat fuck) didn't get that last squeezed penny, we may have to shut down.
Uh oh...a friend of mine from high school lives in NC and he belongs to the local cryptozoology society. He's the one that doesn't believe Obama is a US citizen. This has fail written all over it.
I would be burning my Black Eyed Peas CDs if I had any. That so called show was like concentrated vomit for the ears. I was forced to go to a Super Bowl party fortunately there was plenty of food, drink and rooms without a TV but I watched some of the half time show. Why do they bother?
Apparently that won't work with BMI. I was reading about this over the weekend and their rational is, "of the millions of songs written, how will the owner know which is original or not?". Gotta hand it to them though...the mafia wishes it could operate with such finesse.
What's a PRO? And if one comes by, can we take him out back and administer some street justice? ...with creative license, of course.
Not wrong at all. That would be awesome.

You should hold a fundraising benefit, to raise the money to buy $1000 worth of dildos to mail to the BMI attorneys.
Unfortunately, goons no long show up with clubs and such. The show up with subpoenas.

If HuffPo is worth $315m, RedState must be worth over $1000.
