The Mighty Journolist

Some guy who appears to be living his life as a decades-long piece of performance art titled “Bloated Jackass” is offering $100,000 for the complete archives of a private email listserv called “Journolist” that I used to belong to. I had assumed that Yglesias and Chait had put this issue to rest but apparently not. Fine. I, along with select other members of the liberal media / think tank / university / banking / Hollywood establishment secretly rule the world by sending emails to one another about stuff we think is interesting or annoying, like World Cup soccer.  The best thing for you to do is check this site once an hour for instructions on how to think and never, ever disagree with me, unless you’re a reporter at the Post who thinks that the only way to report the news is to not be smart enough to have opinions about the news, in which case you should get on the phone and give another reporter a bunch of catty anonymous quotes to publish, because that my friends is what real journalism is all about.
