Charles Finally Gets A By-Line...

But still hasn't written anything.

Ariel Sharon in critical condition

Charles Johnson, Little Green Footballs
At Mere Rhetoric Omri Ceren is translating Hebrew and web updates on the condition of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon; the situation is critical.
Check out the comments on this post at Little Green Footballs
__________________________

This is some weird shit, gang. The Pajama Party's second lead story is a link to Little Green Footballs linking to Mere Rhetoric, AND LGF's comment section.

A link to the same link and we get to hear what the LGF lizardoids are saying about the matter? Now, I know Charles doesn't do the writing thang, but linking to his commentors that often DO have something interesting to say...is ripping THEM off, isn't it? Sure, I know that what you leave on a blog becomes the property of the blog unless you suggest otherwise, but a link to 53 comments...THIS is the contribution Charles gets to make? His readers take?

Know what? You can use MY link to LGF anytime you want to have a gander at what the folks there are saying. You can use any one of hundreds of links to LGF at hundreds of blogs, so why go to PJ just to get what's available elsewhere?

Am I missing something? Is this the only way Chuckie gets to see HIS name on something? That's sad. And lame.

Someone gave them millions of dollars to link. To reader comments. Having their very own comment section would what...be too expensive? Displace the GRAVITAS? Or...scare the shit out of the investors when they saw what people were really thinking about such a fiasco. People other than the Scintillating 70. Or the lizardoids at LGF.
