we at
skippy international are getting so
worldly famous that we must announce a change in procedure.
beginning next september we will no longer offer opinions about the new york times for free. we will include those opinions in a special section called "skippy select," available on subscription for $49.95 a year, or three dozen of cookie jill's macadamia chocolate chip cookies.
skippy himself defended this decision at a conference at skippy international headquarters today, which we will describe after the jump:
"no longer will blogtopia get to enjoy our snark without paying for it," the distinguished bush kangaroo intoned. "now our slavish concurrence with krugman, our disdain of miller, our fantasies of dowd all tied up with typewriter ribbons, will cost people money to read. and yes, we coined the phrase 'blogtopia'!"
there were several questions from the press that skippy declined to answer, including "did this decision cause the mid-east riots?" from little green footballs and "what's a typewriter?" from powerline.
blogging observers opine that this change in platform will have little if any effect on plans for the upcoming pajama news service syndicate. but it is hoped nobody notices how this story changed points of view from first to third person about half-way through.
