The Last Supper for Pajama Media

Not alot of time to post (on not alot of sleep)  but for those followers of Pajama Media, here are some snaps of the first  (and last supper) at a chi chi little boite in the Big Apple last night. All of the Masters of the Blog Universe were present............Roger Simon, Charles Johnson, Glenn Reynolds (indeed), Tim Blair, Steve Vodka Pundit, Richard  Belmont Club, Neo Neo Con, Austin Bay, Kesher Talk , David Corn, Gerard, to name drop just a few of the luminaries tha lit up the night. For me, it will be a night "seared" into my memory, never have I been in such  erudite, brilliant, delicious company. Sort of like being back in the amniotic sac but conscious.........whatevuh. The hangover is well worth it. Gotta get dressed - contractions have begun on OSM (Open Source Media, new name for PJM,  long may it shake, rattle and roll)
   
Charles! 
 
Charles, Magnus, Atlas, Clive                  Neo Neo Con, Richard Belmont Club

Austin, Richard, Roger                            Roger and me aka the KingMaker and I

Belmont, Atlas, Tim Blair                           Lisa Vincent (Steven's widow)

    
The Instarpundit himself, Glenn Reynolds..........yes indeedy heh heh

BTW, Wretchard of Belmont Club and Tim Blair both flew in from Australia, Clive Davis in from England, Charles, Gerald,  Ed Driscoll, Roger in from the left coast, Neo Neo Con Maine - You just gotta love these guys (me?  I walked three blocks)

 
UPDATE: November 17 Thumbs down to dirty old man Wolcott.

What's left of his brain is in the gutter. Look at the picture. I am giving a thumbs up to OSM.

UPDATE December 23rd : The stupidity never ends ..............more here

Cool pictures, Atlas. I never had seen Charles before.

[greenmamba]

Thanks for the vicarious experience Pamela. Keep posting the pics.

[realwest]

Great shots (what, you coulnd't ask me to accompany you as a date or a beard, hah? Would that've been asking too much)
And jsut between us, could be the lighting or the jacket he's wearing, but Charles upper body is even bigger or stronger than his legs of steel from riding his cycle of violence or mayhap he need's a slight (notice I said slight) diet? Oh and how the heck did you take these and have them posted by 7:52 AM NYC time? DOn;t you ever sleep girl?!

[Craig]

Hmmmm..Charles could pass for someone who plays on the World Series of Poker tour..

Nice pics...thanks for the inside look.

[Dusty Loy]

Nice pics! I can't wait to listen to Mr. Reynolds and Judith Miller later today.

[Macker]

I don't get it. Roger wears his Fedora here in these pix, but not on the OSM site. He just doesn't look like himself without that Fedora!

[foreign devil]

Thanks for the pics, Atlas! Without being there, it's the next best thing. Charles is a big guy, isn't he? All that pedaling all over South CA I guess!

[Thomas Carney]

Pamela, thank you for the great pics. I'm glad to see OSM get going in a good way!!! Three blocks??? Don't worry, you were there and I'm sure you had fun and so did others when they met you. It's not how far you went, Pamela, it's the fact that you and the others were there!!

Hangover??? Remember what Humphrey Bogart did to cure a hangover... he started drinking again ;)

I haven't had a hangover since 1991. I'm keeping it that way. Besides, I have more fun watching other people get smashed.

The last time I got drunk (1991) some woman was trying to get me to agree to marry her while I was soused. I'm glad I didn't agree to it.

[someone]

Uh, aren't you supposed to apple out neo-neo's head?

[wxjames]

Pamela, you name dropper/pix taker.
You look like a godess in a house of nerds.
However, we appreciate their contributions and one of these days, I may even read Open Sores.

On other matters, today, the Joey Buttafuco of the democrat party managed to stain out war effort in Iraq once again. I can only wish that Paula had sliced his balls off when she had the chance.

[Chip]

I'm glad someone is documenting the behind-the-scenes, smoke-filled, machinations as OSM (with generous support from Zionists, Freemasons, and Bildebergers no doubt) begins its plans for world conquest.

Someday grandchildren will ask, "Where were you when OSM started?"

/OK, maybe a little optimistic

X's & O's (maybe a little feel-copping also ;>), "Beagle"

[Jeff G]

Since trackbacks don't seem to be taking, here's a manual trackback to my liveblogging of the luncheon (and Pamela's heroics therein).

[Carl in Jerusalem]

Great pictures Atlas!

[Red River]

I wondered about all the people I saw in Pajamas last night!

Thanks for the pics!

[Netman]

Atlas, instead of commenting on the news,you have become the news!!

[Lois]

Thanks, Pamela.

Great pix. We await your next post eagerly!

Have a blast! I do not expect any of our local channels to cover it. They must be scared witless, along with the (gag, retch) MSM....

May OSM live long and prosper.

[Solomon2]

Nice pix! Does Roger ever take off his hat?

[Albertanator]

Great pictures but where's LaShawn Barber???

Great stuff otherwise!!!

[Derek]

Wingnut nation---these pictures are like Hollywood for REALLY ugly people. Why don't you all go waterboard eachother.

[Ya me]

Sweet Jeebus lady you are mighty full of yourself! That gang of Weimar kinder needs to hit the koolaid and hit it hard.

loosers

[Carolina Girl]

Girl - do you EVER take a bad picture? There's is something supernatural about the way you look fabulous all the time.

Thanks for sharing these!

Smooches!
Carolina

[LOL]

They must be scared witless, along with the (gag, retch) MSM....

---------------

You know who should really be "scared witless" is Open Source Media Inc, the podcast broadcating division of Public Radio International.

If they don't agressively defend their trademark against Chaz Johnson and his merry band of head-bobbing bush-bots, they're in danger of losing it.

[Carl Berinstein]

Woodward is left-wing!!!??!! I guess by your definition, Tom DeLay is a measured moderate, and David Duke is a mainstream conservative.

Have you ever heard of a book called "Bush at War"? It is a fricking love letter to W. He also endorsed Bob Dole in 1996! Bob Dole! No one voted for that guy. Wow, this open sores media is not right wing like I thought, it is reactionary.

[Carl Berinstein]

One more thing: one of your heroes, Pat Tillman (who I agree is a hero, along with the other military men there) told his parents that he thought the Iraq War was illegal. He also was a big fan of Noam Chomsky. I am sure you will now take him off the side as, by your definition, only people who hate America would have such views.

[lowandslow]

WTF is with all the trolls tonight?

[Dean Jorge Bocobo]

Hope you don't mind but Wretchard pointed out your site last nite while we were live blogging the launch. "Borrowed" two of the pix relevant to the local blogosphere in the Archipelago. Thanks...

[Conservatus M]

Berinstein:

Tillman also read Churchill (Winston, not Ward). He had arranged a meeting with Chomsky, apparently, for his return to the U.S. However, I'm certain he would have arranged a meeting with Churchill had that been possible.

There's one fact you ignore: Tillman went to Iraq even though he disagreed with the war there. It appears he was killed on account of some inept leadership; but such are the vagaries of war.

Either way, it's not the opposition to the war that makes someone un-American, it's the reliance upon accusations, misleading and selective presentation of news and outright lies that sometimes makes people wonder which side some of our politicians are on.

I defy you listen to some of the Orphan Annie (Tokyo Rose), Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally broadcasts from World War II and tell me how any are materially different from what Democrats and their pals in the media are saying about our President and this war.

In fact, Orphan Annie was an American POW whose forced broadcasts from Japan were often considerably less acerbic than those of either the Democrats or the media these days.

And even the Germans -- whose propaganda was totally inept -- wouldn't have made some of the ridiculous arguments the left is trying to foist off these days. Were it not so sad it would be funny.

[tbogg]

There's one fact you ignore: Tillman went to Iraq even though he disagreed with the war there. It appears he was killed on account of some inept leadership; but such are the vagaries of war.

Actually he signed up after 9/11 to go to Afghanistan and later mentioned to a friend he served with that the war in Iraq was "f***in' illegal"

I guess you could call that a 'disagreement'. You were pretty much dead on about the 'inept leadership' though.

[KillCon2005]

Shrug.

[richard]

How odd. I always thought Tillman went to and died in Afghanistan. Damn that MSM, playing with our heads! Good to know he actually went to Iraq. Thanks for straightening us deluded liberals out, Conservatus.

Wanker.

[busdrivermike]

Morning Treasonlovers!

Did anyone get an autographed pic of Chalabi at AEI's treasonpalooza last week?

I want to glue it to my cat litter box, next to Jeff Gannon and Brownie.

Hey, did you hear they are serving a new side dish at the White House commisary?

Treason Fries!

[Conservatus M]

According to what I have read, Pat Tillman signed up afer September 11; but was first sent to Iraq, then reassigned to Afghanistan.

[Confabulous]

Conservatard Moron,

Of course Pat Tillman read Churchill, Winston. And prbably Ward, too. Apparently you have read neither. Choosing instead to read swill like this worthless POS, and other silly garbage. Churchill, Winston, was a liberal, you ignorant pogue.

These quotes make for good story-telling but popular myth has falsely attributed them to Churchill.

"Conservative by the time you're 35"

"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"

Liberalism is not socialism, and never will be... Liberalism has its own history and its own tradition. Socialism has its own formulas and aims. Socialism seeks to pull down wealth; Liberalism would preserve private interests in the only way in which they can be safely and justly preserved, namely, by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the pre-eminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks, and shall seek more in the future, to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capital; Liberalism attacks monopoly.
Winston Churchill, 1908

[Conservatus M]

Hey Richard:

Guess you were the one who was wrong about Pat Tillman! He WAS assigned to Iraq first and later sent to Afghanistan.

Typical liberal, armed with nothing but bad facts and a big mouth. Are you dingleberries ever right about anything?

Thanks for the "correction," Dick. Any other mistakes you'd like to correct, feel free.

Jerkoff.

[Raoul Paste]

Smaller government? No.
The most expensive nation-building in human history? Yes.
Insane deficits? Yes.
Quagmire? Yes.
Trampling on civil liberties? Yes.

Where's the conservatism? By 2010, the INTEREST on the national debt will be as big as the pentagon budget. What is wrong with you people?

[DumbCon1000 A.D.]

Conservatus M explains to us all why only conservatard morons respond to inept conservatard propaganda:

And even the Germans -- whose propaganda was totally inept -- wouldn't have made some of the ridiculous arguments the left is trying to foist off these days. Were it not so sad it would be funny.

It belongs to the genius of a great political leader to make even adversaries far removed from one another seem to belong to a single category, because in weak and uncertain characters the knowledge of having different enemies can only too readily lead to the beginning of doubt in their own right. Once the wavering mass sees itself in a struggle against too many enemies, objectivity will put in an appearance, throwing open the question whether all others are really wrong and only their own movement are in the right. And this brings about the first paralysis of their own power. Hence a multiplicity of different adversaries must always be combined so that in the eyes of one's own supporters the struggle is directed against only one enemy.
Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf"

It only works on the terminally stupid.

[Conservatus M]

Confabulous:

You should change it to "conflatus." The turn of the twentieth century "liberalism" to which you refer has nothing to do with what's today's liberals. If you think there's no difference there, then that's your problem.

I would suggest that people like John Kennedy and George W. Bush more closely embody that activist, turn of the twentieth century liberalism than those today who claim to be "liberals."

[Tillman was a liberal]

You can be damn sure Tillman was no conservative. A real conservative would never have enlisted, or if he had, he'd have shot a few of his own toes of if the Army had the nerve to send him to someplace nasty.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Tillman turned down a $3.6 million contract from the Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army, along with his brother Kevin, who had played minor league baseball professionally in the Cleveland Indians organization. The two brothers completed training for the elite Army Ranger school in late 2002, and were assigned to the second battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment in Fort Lewis, Washington. Both Pat and Kevin were deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Tillman was subsequently redeployed to Afghanistan, where, on April 22, 2004, he was killed in action by friendly fire while on patrol. His unit was attacked in an ambush on a road outside of the village of Sperah about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Khost, near the Pakistan border. An Afghan militia soldier was killed and two other Rangers were injured as well. The U.S. Department of Defense concluded that Pat Tillman's death was due to friendly fire aggravated by the intensity of the firefight. It was later learned that in fact, no hostile forces were involved in the firefight, and that two allied groups fired on each other in confusion over an exploded mine or remote controlled bomb. U.S. Army Special Operations Command, however, initially claimed there was an exchange with hostile forces. A later investigation conducted by Brigadier General Jones found that the Army was slow to correct the story of a hostile exchange of fire after learning that it was false.

You so funny! Do you just make this shit up or is there a website I can go to?

So conservatism and socialism ain't what they used to be either, huh? I don't have time for this. I have a refridgerator to watch defrosting. It's more of a challenge.

[Conservatus M]

Dumbcon1000:

Good debating. Just ignore the point, then compare your opponent's argument to an unrelated quote from Mein Kamf -- just for the Hitler reference, you know.

Ever listen to any of the propaganda broadcasts from World War II? There's little difference between Lord Haw Haw and the DNC or the MSM. Day after day, consciously massaging every story so that it's either anti-Bush or anti-war. Indeed, the "lapdog" attacks on Tony Blair were taken whole cloth from World War II German propaganda casting Churchill as Roosevelt's flunky.

By the way, your post refers to me as a "conservatard," then quotes Hitler as to how Nazis must make "even adversaries far removed from one another seem to belong to a single category." Well done!

[Everett R Littlefield]

To Conservatus M, I am a conservative, spent twenty years in the military after ENLISTING at 17, Have been in some "nasty" places and still have all my toes asswipe!

[alibidrain]

That Walcott!
How anyone could think dirty thoughts while perusing this blog is beyond me.
"Search Me" indeed.

[Conservatus M]

Everett:

I think you were reading the post following mine, where the reference to shooting toes was made.

[mangels]

Amy...those that put Israel's national security interests above that of the United States really should think about making Aliyah. It's obvious your an Israel-firster.

[dave]

Anyone who thinks they're a "writer" and opens a piece by using "alot" twice is just a fucking idiot.

[court]

ooooh check out the big brain on dave.
bringing out the big guns by pointing out spelling errors... lets ignore atlas's experience as a publisher in nyc cut-throat journalism not to mention astounding power as a female blogger...

as for walcott, you're a perv.

[righteous man]

Dang. Atlas. You are so hawt. If I qualify for OSM, will you come to my party, too? How do you find time to do "all this" and look so good?
The Party shots: you were on your way to aerobics class, right?

[aqualung]

I guess having boobs rather than brains is serving you very well.

[joejoejoe]

Like Dick Cheney and Torquemada said, "Nice rack!"

[RT]

"Citizen soldier," huh?

You look young enough to enlist, Atlas. Are you another of those "the best way I can help the war effort is by blogging - the proles can't blog like I can, so I should let them do the dirty work" conservatives?

Just wondering.

[Dr. Payne]

Got here via Wolcott.

Atlas Shrugs? I hope you don't fancy yourself the inheritor of Ayn Rand's flame... or, perhaps that's just what you are, which would provide the final proof of the utter bankruptcy of people who consider themselves "conservative" today.

Disagree with Ayn or agree, at least she thought things through. The "conservative movement" today is exactly what she was warning against in "Atlas Shrugged"... corrupt corporations feeding at the trough of governement while manipulating the "farmer" pouring out the slops.

Are you even aware of that? Did you see the energy bill? The perscription drug bill? NCLB? Any tax legislation? Ayn is not just spinning in her grave, she has tunneled through the mantle like a Hughes Tool Company bit on crack cocaine.

Just look at the vacant stares of the people in the pictures above (have they ever produced anything original in their lives?), or the oil exec's lying to Congress the other day while giving their "representatives" handjobs under the table, or just Big Dick Cheney for that matter - he must be the biggest fraud ever foisted on the American people, and we all would have been better off if he'd just stayed a-workin' those power lines back home.

Signed,

Dr. Payne

[Dave Jenkins]

Pamela, Enjoyed the post and the pics...but this confused me a bit...which is not hard to do.

You must be doing something right!

BTW: Enlarge that photo of you and Charles, hang it over the mantlepiece.

[aRthurStone]

I think Wolcott got it right but I had to check for myself. Looked like a pretty boring party. Someone should tell Roger Simon it's good manners to remove ones hat indoors. One small step he could take to save western civilization.

But you should do well. Nice looking and content free.

"Che",

Those of us who see the jihad for what it is don't use the term "raghead." Sikhs and Hindus are equally brutalized by Muslim jihadis.

Your observation about signing up for the military is not only the most cliched argument in the entire inventory, but very ironic given your nick's penchant for personal violence.

So I ask you, when do you get your butt away from your computer and start the revolution?

I'm in purgatory, and I still have Wi-Fi.
I have to stay here until the error I made in 2000 is rectified.
Please vote for Gore/Obama in 2008.

[Rakkasan]

Conservatus M,
I don't know where you get your info, jackass, but you are living on fantasy planet if you think the U.S. Army Infantry is overflowing with liberals. Having served over twenty years that included three tours with the 101st, I can tell you unequivocally that the vast majority of combat arms soldiers are conservatives. The fact that you could make such a monumentally inaccurate comment - on something you obviously know zero about - leads me to the inescapable conclusion that the rest of your screeds are similarly uninformed.

[Anus Moses]

I don't see a thumb.

Not much of a breast, either.

[No Seaboard Here]

Typical New York "We're the center of our universe" crap. You people need to get over yourselves. And you, girlie, need to find a man - HINT - you're not going to find one slutting around at a party like this.

[Uncle Mike]

In all honesty, I thought you were grabbing yourself when I first saw the picture, too. Your thumb is actually pointing more sideways, and your shirt is kinda bunched up right there.

Meh. Whatever.

[Konservative Keith]

Umm.......for what it's worth? That DOES look kinda odd, whatcher doing with yer hand and all...

So you got caught in an odd pose, you've called more attention to it by getting all defensive. And some of these folks are right, those who think this war is worth fighting (I don't) ought to be signing up and putting their lives where their mouths are, so to speak.

[Decker]

How could anyone mistake you for something other than klassy?

Clearly, you must have near-kryptonian powers to place LGF's name alongside Albert Einstein's. Most people's heads would explode from the cognitive dissonance.

[NeoDude]

We Germans have seen where such doctrines lead. Liberalism tore down the structures that held races and peoples together, releasing the destructive drives. The result was economic chaos that led to millions of unemployed on the one side and the senseless luxury of economic jackals on the other. Liberalism destroyed the people's economic foundations, allowing the triumph of subhumans. They won the leading role in the political parties, the economy, the sciences, arts and press, hollowing out the nation from inside. The equality of all citizens, regardless of race, led to the mixing of Europeans with Jews, Negro, Mongols and so on, resulting in the decay and decline of the Aryan race.

i love your comments on President Carter, the last MORAL man we had in the white house...the man who ok'd arming the afghan's on the advice of Z. Brezinski (sp.) who said "we do this, and it will finish the Soviets off, it will be their own Vietnam."

Of course the Reagan -Bush years soured the Afghans, creating a place of unease that Bin Ladin filled. Hate to burst your bubble, but Reagan's role in the end of the Soviet's will soon be made smaller by actual historians, not hagiographers like yourself.
