Pam catches a funny part of the whole explosion of the the Jammy folk:

Roger quips: Actually that part of our business has been losing money from the beginning, so the people getting their quarterly checks from PJM were getting a form of stipend from us in the hopes that advertisers would start to cotton to blogs and we could possibly make a profit. Didn't happen. No wonder those people are kicking and screaming now that they are off the dole. I might too. [What's their beef? I thought most of them were free marketeer libertarians or something.-ed. Go figure.]

Dan Responds:
Here's the thing, Roger: you never once told us that the blog network you kept insisting was the next great thing "has been losing money from the beginning" - at least, not to our faces, and certainly not in any way that would suggest that you were carrying us like welfare recipients.
