Sometimes a goofy post is so goofy that it becomes brilliant.

My thinking too. They have fallen into the pothole of irrelevancy.

He’s hitting up Silvia’s mother for a loan right about now.

Such a fantastic magazine in the days of Tom Wolfe, P.J. O’Rourke and of course Hunter Thompson.

Yep. The 70s and 80s were it's heyday. Even Matt Taibbi grew over the past 15 years or so into a decent journalist, albeit an unapologetic liberal.

It had a fifty year run. That's pretty respectable for a magazine. Plenty of others have come and gone since then.

Run the price up, then let them have it, buy it in a few for a dollar. RE-brand with same name, get congresses approval, then de-moss!

Another Social Justice Warrior bites the dust.

Gee, making war on your clients is not a good game plan, who wudda thunk it.

Perhaps they could shore up sales with a crossword puzzle.

Dang, I was hoping to read that Wenner was dying of something.
...a botched story three years ago about an unproven gang rape at the University of Virginia badly bruised the magazine’s journalistic reputation.
Not unproven, a baldfaced lie. Thanks Rebelbase.

Uhm, you realize for twenty-five cents you’re also assuming all their debts, don’t you?

No sir, it isn’t. The magazine biz is dead as a door nail and the Luddites who still cling to it will soon be out of jobs.

Emerson Collective. Front for Lauren Jobs, who is taking Stevie’s money and spending it on failing but formerly prominent mastheads.

I’d buy it, make it pretty neutral politically by exposing the monstrous crap on all sides, drop the rap (there’s legions of other mags doing that), focus on the great bands that are getting buried by the Beyonces, Adeles and Lady Gagas, extensively cover up-and-coming bands all over the country, hire Mark Steyn to do a column on world politics, music, movies or whatever he wants, lionize the living legends like Dylan and Petty, give young local journalists a chance to write gritty, indepth, riveting true crime from their local bailywicks, make Random Notes really random and cool again, and I think I’d have a winner, not a Wenner.
