Hi,
I’d like to inquire about doing a sponsored blog post – about 150-300 words that talks a little bit about DUI law and links back to our site http://www.michaelpackardlaw.com. We provide DUI Attorney Services and I thought we might be a good fit for your readers/visitors on http://timworstall.com.

Here’s a list of some blog post titles we’ve done in the past:
- What Happens When You Get A DWI in Texas
- How a DUI Attorney Can Save Your Life
- Reasons Why You Need A Immigration Attorney

Our budget is around $15 for the post. Is this something you’d be open to?

Also we might be interested in a small banner ad if the price is right. Our budget is $40/year – something like this:

Let me know if you’d be open to either or both of these.

Also if you have some other sites just send them over and we might be interested in doing a sponsored post on there as well!

Regards,

Phil

I second the above comment. If you think for a second that 6 figure offers are just rolling downhill from Wall Street to recent law school grads, or that doctors are striking it rich right after med school, you are incredibly ignorant. It’s probably really easy to write such a stupid and conclusive comment when you don’t actually have to do any actual journalistic work. Try this: pretend you are a recent law school grad in the top 25% of your class, and go ahead and knock on some doors at some firms. See what happens. Watch how much the offers just start pouring in. The way you twist reality in a self-serving manner is unethical at best.

Are you the guy who wrote this article?

“Six Waltons Have More Wealth Than the Bottom 30 % of Americans”

Truly, on the most literal level, you’re an idiot. Your argument that the wealth disparity in the United States can be ignored by virtue of the fact that you can divide total US household wealth by the US population and come up with a bountiful figure is idiotic, and does nothing to capture the economic realities of the country. Worse still, it is misleading, and paints an inaccurate picture of the economic life of most Americans. I cannot stop you from continuing to publish; I highly encourage you, however, to get a basic education.

Interesting stuff.

I’m curious; who’s the liberal equivalent of Tim? What lefty blog is there that is as rigorously scrupulous with facts and figures? That is as sound in its knowledge and as bracingly authoritative? Any suggestions?

Tim adds: Chris Dillow for sure. Unity on his subjects. Jamie K on his. Lots of them actually, just not that many on economics.

Another mercenary writer for hire, funded by right wing groups and individuals to push their views and promote their interests. Must be pretty lucrative…

Tim adds: Mercenary writer for hire: yes, it’s known as being a “freelance”. There’s quite a lot of us about you know, most newspapers are full of pieces written by such mercenaries.

As to groups and individuals, well, other than those we call “editors”, not seen much sign of that. And lucrative? I wish….

Poor, sad Tim

Not least, not very bright to ‘out’ yourself for what you are, and try and sell your books at the same time.

I’ve read this blog for a while and never noticed the about section. All I can say is rofl @ the people whining about how you’ve said something they don’t like.

Came to your blog via the Register and the article on sex trafficking. Loved it, absolutely spot on, so was surprised to see all the anti re your writing, “Go back to England, you jerk-off, loser of an asshole. America does not need or want you here.” hmmm, now there’s a command of language to be admired!!! Of course the margin thing reveals the truth, in my opinion the only use for IE is to download Firefox (or another browser that works), the critics are all Windohs users! Best of luck mate. Jack.

“Hi, my name is Tim…blogs are cool, cause then I can pretend I am a writer.”

“Tim Worstall is an Englishman who has failed at many things. Thus his turn to writing, the last refuge of many who could make a living no other way.”

Tim, according to your website text, you must be dead broke and starving by now because you even failed at writing! Dude, you are a sad, pathetic loser and I’m sure right now you are in some bar having your morning cup of Vodka aren’t you?
Your Blog regarding Randy Salerno is a complete misuse of the Internet and makes me want to have it regulated to prevent morons like you from writing hurtful and disgusting dribble like this. Your Blog said nothing significant but it said everything about the kind of person you have become in your life. It was a deliberate attempt to be an Asshole but don’t despair Tim, it’s the one thing in your life you have succeed on becoming. Go back to England, you jerk-off, loser of an asshole. America does not need or want you here.

I was just reading “Environmental Idiocy of the Day : Jeremy Leggett Edition” in The Business.

Sorry Tim, but you really have completely missed Leggett’s point here – as is revealed by the fact that you seem to think it’s some kind of scoop to reveal that he runs a solar energy business!

If this is your normal standard of journalism we’ll need to design a system to capture the carbon dioxide from the huge volumes of noxious hot air you produce.

Any news on the margins? The blog is unreadable at the moment which is a shame.

I used to read the blog all the time, but the creeping margin now means I can’t.

Very enjoyable blog BUT the problem with the creeping margin is making it unreadable. Can this be fixed?

Ditto, on margins. Fix it, please

Just want to second the above comment. The creeping of the margins is making the blog unreadable.

Hi, Tim!

I searched for your name om impulse after watching Crossroads movie with a lot of Ry Cooder music. Then all in sudden I realized that it was Tim who told me about Ry Cooder and many other things.
I googled and here we go. Tim is alive and kicking as a star of blogosphere now.
But of course. I should have guessed myself.
Let me know when you are in Moscow next time.
