…oops, José Guardia, because until now the pseudonymous José was blogging as Franco at Barcepundit, close to the smartest bilingual (English-Spanish) blog on the Internet. All of us got to know it very well during the terror attack on Madrid’s Atocha Station.
So when we were putting together Pajamas Media, trying to figure out how we were going to keep running twenty-four hours a day, it was natural we would pick Franco/José for our Western European Editor to pair with Wretchard/Richard as Australian editor. With our home office in LA, (wo)manned by the fabulous Jill Stewart and the fabulous Hillary Johnson, well, maybe I’ll just stay in New York and drink martinis (dirty, two olives, Ketel One).
Meanwhile, check out José’s profile on the transition site.
I have no idea what your plans are with this Pajamas Media, but my best wishes are going with you.
Just a thought: have you approached the inimitable Religious Policeman??
Pajamas Media now needs a trade mark photo for its website. Soon available – what about a picture of George Galloway……in orange pajamas! You helped get him there. Perhaps you could photo edit on a nice tall silver foil hat for him too!
Roger:
This is really turning into something isn’t it?
I am impressed.
Ketel One? You have good taste, sir. But the martini should be so dry, one just glances across the room at the vermouth. (Mr. Churchill knew best.)
Enough with the foreplay already! Frankly, I’m beginning to find this litany of profiles depressing and have begun to wonder if what we’re really watching is one independent blogger after another biting the MSM wannabe dust.
I really enjoy the unmasking of all these folks who I’ve visited so regularly and enjoyably.
Actually, I expect I’m just marching to a slightly different drummer here, as most folks seem to share your enjoyment. As Dickens once said about finally remembering a name (in the wee hours, of course), curiosity satisfied can be as pleasant as a completed sneeze. From my perspective, it feels more like finding out how the magician does his tricks, when I’ve always rather liked the idea of anonymous voices rising and falling solely on the strength, or the appeal, of their own arguments. But then, that’s just me.
Wish you and your endeavor all the best though and am fully prepared to be won over at take off! I just hope that PJM bloggers continue to engage with their readers, and don’t end up just talking to each other or the MSM instead.
