Dear all,
If you asked a week ago I'd have said this blog has only one reader. None, if you don't coun guys who move their lips while reading. The recent spate of comments makes me happy.
But I don't really know that there's a lot to read now. This blog has gotten some hate speech pulle off the web and I'm proud of/happy with that. If more speech like that sneaks its way up, I'll have something to make fun of and I will. But compiling Aaron's male chauvinist comments sounds awful dreary, there's a lot and anyway if his blog at all represents his speech in person nobody really needs the help.
I know there's folks out there that like to go over to Captain Capitalism and make detailed point-by-point refutations of his nuttery but that strikes me as a colossal waste of time. Look, guys, there's real, published, repected economists from all over the political spectrum on the web and they are resonable, cordial, and wicked smart. Anyone reading Aaron Clarey isn't looking for real economics and you are around as stupid as he is if you're trying to convince them of anything. When some weiner who can barely read a graph tells you, "I've looked over the Earth's temperature data and it's obvious to me that the vast majority scientists studying this hideously complicated thing are complete idiots," then if you still take him even slighly seriously there's no real point in arguing with you. I'm leaving econ blogging to people who know what they're talking about. If only Aaron did the same. You want to see that stuff on this site, I'll give you keys and you can do it yourself.
So -- anything you want to see here? Let me know below. Otherwise posting's gonna get really rare.
Although, expect a long post Monday or Tuesday!

Oh, I love your posts.
I want you to keep posting.
That is of course unless you're getting chicken. I mean, for all that tough talk, you should be willing to see this through to the end.
Please, keep posting!
Oh, and you didn't get any "hate" speech pulled, not that there was any bonafide hate speech to begin with.
The links were just changed.
Not too brilliant for a doctorate are you...but then again, you go to Berkeley.
What no response?
Seriously Sanjay, I've been waiting here for 48 hours and you are wordless.
Well that doesn't fit your 10 page rants on my web site that seemingly went nowhere.
You must have a couple words at least, don't you?
For all the bravado, I thought you, a "crusader" against racism (pha, as if) would have some kind of witty come back.
Please, don't feel intimidated, continue in your "benevolent crusade to protect the masses against me."
I mean, you're doing the world a favor, right?
And you, a "man" (albeit hairline-receding) wouldn't let my posts or commentary go off scot-free here would you??? Because you believe in your convictions.
Or are you chicken?
Bwauk bwauk!!!!
Please continue, and I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU BIG POST COMING UP!!!!
I'm sure it is a rationale as to why you did this and to how it is of some benefit to society yet you somehow "don't have the time to continue this crusade."
Planning to make yourself a martyr are you?
I'm giddy with anticipation.
Wait, one more thing, if you'll permit me.
"Dear all????"
"fan base???"
Sorry, just two phrases I saw in previous posts, and now you're admitting only one person reads this????
Boy you've sure done 180's recently.
Wow, geez, dude, you are crazy as a loon. It's called a "weekend." You get far away from computers, read a book, meet a friend, strum a guitar, see a movie, go to church, go for a bike ride, wait 120 hours, repeat. You might try it, it might make you not such a dick.
Ya got no complaint, dude. You want more posts, you can get all you want, just write some more about blacks and socialism or something like that. Look, man, I know it's hard for you, but, do some math. I got a couple weeks' material out of a year-plus of yours. If I keep doing exactly what I'm doing, which I figure I will, there just ain't gonna be a lot of posts, thus the bleg. You can interpret that as a climb-down if you want, I know the math is hard. You don't like it? Put up some more posts like the ones I dealt with.
Reading your comments I am amazed how much you exaggerate your own importance in everything you read. Aaron, Aaron, PILM, you fill about 5 minutes of my thoughts every day, and to be honest, you're way overdrawn on that today so what I'm going to do is write a little more sense right here -- I can generally count on you to respond to that with something that makes you look like that much more of a nut, thereby entertaining the fan base -- and knock off for a week or so to get the averages right: he who spends too much time thinking about a PILM becomes one.
1) "Crusade" isn't a me-kind of word. This isn't a "crusade." It's making fun of an ass. Which is fun because said ass happens to be a public figure of sorts -- that's why when Dan Rather slavers over faked documents everyone makes fun of him, but when some foul-smelling guy in leotards does it, you fumble around for a quarter to give the poor guy. Also because, wow, you're an ass. I don't do "crusades" and if I did I wouldn't waste them on you. I'd have to get real mad about something first. If it makes you feel worse (and it does), you're not the only ass I routinely make fun of (though possibly the only Internet ass).
You keep on broadcasting to the rubes -- someone's gotta do it, and it's not going to be someone savory. It might be someone less amusing.
2) I might also do some good. Some nasty speech is gone from the Web. Links, schminks -- anyone who spends energy looking hard for filth on the Internet will find it. But it's out of the discourse.
3) And that's a good thing. When it's a public figure, people can get some abuse and think, is it just me, or what? It's nice to feel maybe I give them a place where they know there's a history of this and they can laugh at it. And it serves as a warning to people worried about that kind of speech -- y'all might not want to avoid this.
4) Nothing's changing, nothing's going down, I just can't figure much to post. If you think you want to do something about it, knock yourself out, baby. All that stuff means I don't back down off of making fun of bigots, at the empty threats of an ass. It never meant I want a fight -- I am a freakishly lucky and therefore very happy person, and would much rather spend my time with the people I know, than dealing with an odious fool. If I know by doing something I can spend less time is your wondrous presence, rest assured that's not a disincentive. But I like doing this, I think it maybe does a little good, and I don't back down for bullies and fools, so if you think you can make me -- bring it, PILM.
5) If I ever did become the type of nut to go on stupid "crusades" against minor figures, it would badly ruin my life. People would find me revolting, my friends woudl avoid me, my family members would be willing to say bad things about me in public. Maybe you know something about that.
TTFN!
Did he just get confused between 24 and 48 hours? Wow, I guess counting to two really _is_ in those _advanced_ courses.
Do adults _really_ still say, "Are you chicken? Bwak! Bwak!"?
Sorry, the analogy is confusing me. The foul-smelling guy in leotards _isn't_ Aaron? I'm lost.
