Hey Rick, relax on the “google bombing” of Bush, will ya? Turns out that Google didn’t stop bombing against anybody until 2007, when they developed an algorithm to correct such behavior. So its really a non-issue that they only took a few day to deploy this action for Obama, because unlike 2003, they had the technology at hand to correct it!

I mean, what can “conservatives” really do about this “problem”? Develop an “family-friendly” alternative to Google? We all know know how well Conservapedia competes with Wikipedia…

Did you catch his “Google Blocks Conservative Websites” outburst this weekend? a classic of right-wing paranoia and general idiocy!

shouldn’t that be this site’s motto?

Yes - and half the Democratic party was paranoid when Google blocked sites supporting Hillary? And the constant gaming of conservative websites with blocks being put on conservative Blogspot blogs on a regular basis?

And the Google Bombs that were directed against Bush that Google refused to address for 3 years while the Google Bomb against Obama was defused in a matter of hours.

Paranoia? What paranoia?

And do you have an independent thought of your own? Must we continually be subjected to your shopworn talking points? Perhaps not in this comment but a perusal of your past efforts are so lame as to be beyond belief. I mean, my cat is more original than you are. Besides, anonymous blowhards like you - people who don’t have the guts to use their real names and would wet their pants if they were forced to make their insults to the faces of their targets - I find to be more tiresome than annoying

I learned a long time ago that businesses and other organizations are just like people ..

they are born, they grow up, they get old, and they die .. some faster than others

Maybe more folks would leave more “coherent” comments if you didn’t spend half of your threads being vindictive. You know just get to the point without all of the acerbic spew. At least you don’t wander off with your liberal bitch slapping in your reviews of 24. Also if you wouldn’t retaliate against what you consider to be dolt individuals leaving comments, with your juvenile name calling, you might give people a reason to just read what you have to say about the majority of your topics,which seem reasonably well argued, instead of wondering who your patience has run out with lately. Sure you don’t suffer fools well but sometimes you look like one in the process of rendering your wrath. Sincerely, Scott.

I read of this at the AOS site. I never got the sense that PJM was tanking.

Did I mention it would be good idea to use less salt in the recipe you wrote about?

Just for the record, even when my comments are stupid, I read every word. That said, this entire post is “preaching to the choir”. The people that actually read your posts already know that ONLY the revenue model failed, not PJ media. The idiots that don’t read it, won’t read this one. Sad but true.

Maybe if you could start drawing little cartoons for the lefty morons that think they can glean the content of the entire post from the title…

Just to focus on one point in your article. As the Obama Empire coninues to develop cracks, from foreign policy blunders (Iran, NK, and others I’m sure) to domestic policy dead ends (the stimulus bill, abortion promotion, etc.) I optimistically believe there will be a slowly increasing number of rational liberal/leftist commentators who could and should be invited into dialogue on the errors to come and more realistic and productive policy directions as alternatives. Obama’s, and Pelosi’s, idea of “bipartisanship” and “compromise” is crystal clear - “I won.” I enjoy PJM as a written site and it would be even more interesting if it helps to build a new, yes bipartisan, majority which can help to prevent some of the damage Obama-Pelosi-Reid will inflict on the U.S. and the world if they are left unchecked. Here’s one person who hopes you all can find a way to work out the financial issues.

I don’t mind the ads on blogs, and I click on them from time to time — all readers should click on one every day as a courtesy to the host. I commend PJM for bringing a network of blogs together and I hardly think it is far right (Rick’s too moderate for me and they chose him, after all). What media needs is a competitor to Associated Press and I’d like to see the PJM morph into an Associated Blogger Press.

Rick’s take on events is an important click for me, but I am scanning, not usually savoring. PJTV is an attempt at appointment television on demand by way of Fox News Channel meets HBO. But they don’t get it, I use Hotair and the internet as my Cliffsnotes cheatsheet shortcut on the news. The last think I want to do is get bogged down on their full length video library. If there’s a video clip I need to see, I trust hotair to post a clip, and even then I just do a quick read of the text and move on.

But how is RWNH to prosper? Do you do the cheesy store like Hugh has at Hughhewitt.com? A monthly reminder for the tip jar? Blog ads? Auction off a dinner with Rick? No, I am NOT going to suggest calendar, the mind’s eye just can’t go there. But Rick is America’s best curmudgeon blogger, maybe that niche can be exploited.

PJM is one of the sites I read daily with my morning coffee. I love to site, the writing and the openess of the blogs. Frankly, I was unaware the model as you say, failed. Seems right-on to me! I give you many thanks for a well presented blog and timely articles.
