Looks like I picked the wrong line of blogging:
A range of mainstream American publications printed paid propaganda for the government of Malaysia, much of it focused on the campaign against a pro-democracy figure there.
The payments to conservative American opinion writers — whose work appeared in outlets from the Huffington Post and San Francisco Examiner to the Washington Times to National Review and RedState — emerged in a filing this week to the Department of Justice. The filing under the Foreign Agent Registration Act outlines a campaign spanning May 2008 to April 2011 and led by Joshua Trevino, a conservative pundit, who received $389,724.70 under the contract and paid smaller sums to a series of conservative writers.

How come we left wing types don’t get paid to prostitute ourselves? We can use the money. I’ve mentioned before that the battery on my Ipad’s getting weak, and it’s now my primary device for sharing my amazing insights with the rest of the world. Do I have to use my own money to get one, when some third world dictator could buy one for me?
Look, I can see some merit in the Malaysian dictatorship. I’m sure they keep the trains running on time. Where’s my boodle?
