And Now, The Good News
By Mitch Berg
Yesterday, I reported that JRoosh of RooshFive was hanging up his pajamas. Family obligations and a busy schedule made his customary blogging schedule – a very me-like four-or-more posts per day – untenable.
The good news? Roosh will be joining the staff here at Shot In The Dark.
OK. Roosh will be the staff here at Shot In The Dark. In 6.5 years, it’s the first time I’ve had a co-blogger.
At any rate, Roosh will be bringing his blend of fiscal conservatism, family, and hot cars to this blog…well, pretty much whenever he wants to. Might be weekly, might be annually, but he’s here.
Everyone say hi!

Dude, you have an actual minion! Congratulations!!

Good hire, Mitch. Roosh Five was one of my favorite blogs and I’m glad he’s going to be posting here.

Didn’t Katie of “Yucky Salad” become a staff member, too?
July 16th, 2008 at 7:37 am
I extended the offer ot Katie. We shall see.

I thought we were both minions, angryclown. As I was reading I was picturing this “co-blogger” position as more a ‘cut above’: henchman! 😉
I am joking, and I look forward to reading whatever he has the time to contribute. *waves*

Excellent, the Grand Blog of the Republic begins.
But soon, inevitably, you’ll start building a Death Blog, and next thing we know we’ll see ads for “Shot In The Dark Empire” T-shirts.

Good ad Mitch – way to go Roosh!
Jeff – get Chief to design the shirts and I’ll be first in line to buy one out here is Salt Lake!

Good point, Troy. Roosh is properly considered a henchman. You Mitchketeers are minions. Angryclown prefers the title “gadfly.”
Boy, now that Mitch is busy hiring staff and whatnot, I guess he’ll soon disclose his financing for all to see. Cause that’s his big cause, you know.

Another group blog? Not a bad call, you can use a bit of a break.
Maybe you should offer a position to daClown, too.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Angryclown needs no pay to spread the truth, nerdbert. The grateful thanks of you townspeople is compensation enough.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Who was that masked clown?
Oh, and congrats to Mitch and JRoosh; I look forward to the collaboration!

God Save The Clown!

AC a “gadfly”? Pish, tosh.
You’ve transcended mere gadfly-ery, my friend. I suggest, no I declare, that you sir, are in a class of your own clownish creation.
Your servant & etc.

[…] Then Mitch scoops up one of the most highly coveted blogging free agents in the Twin Cities — a blogger I was hoping to snag to add to the TvMÂ stable. […]

Awesome! That is wonderful (especially for you…).
And if you ever need hot car pr0n, you know from whom it can be acquired.

Good to hear that a credentialed blogger is joining the fray. But please be careful about taking too much additional help, Mitch. Remember how Kool-Aid Report lost some of its fire when they took on that Head of Alfredo Garcia guy? Too many cooks, and all that.
July 17th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Fred the Head was such a hack.
Not gonna make that mistake.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:03 am
I don’t like to cook.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:29 am
I never let anyone but me cook my food. Yeep.
disclose his financing
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You can seem my “financing” on the masthead and in my right column.

Good going, Mr. Roosh– Mr. Mitch, you have chosen “wisely.” 🙂
