At our swanky launch party in the Rainbow Room at New York's Rockefeller Center on November 16, we changed out of our "pajamas" both literally and figuratively.

I fear very much that this means that the attendees saw Char/les Joh/nson and R/oger /L Si/mon naked.

Christopher Lydon was already using the OpenSource name. TWDJ.

I say split the difference: Open Pajamas Media.

I'm gonna sue them for libel for inappropriately using the term open source.

I'm sure the 'guys in suits' (translation: guys with money) appreciate the whole fiasco being laid at their feet. Heh. Indeed.

Sort of like Chris Lydon appreciating how they falsely claimed to have his permission?

"Please like our new news service. PS we like to lie a lot."

Things that could make this even better:

(a) Paul Deignan sues OSM

(b) Paul Deignan reveals that Roger L. Simon is Bitch PhD.

For some reason, I think 'Pajamas Open Media' sounds less pornagraphic but more obscene.

(a) Paul Deignan sues OSM

OSM sues PD for libeling Harriet Miers.

(b) Paul Deignan reveals that Roger L. Simon is Bitch PhD.

PD 'discovers' that BitchPhD is run out of whitehouse.gov. PD then sues himself for treason.

I hope the guys who gave them $3.5 million did so expecting a tax loss or something. Otherwise. . .

On #10: I was thinking open at the back, for late night emergencies.

Does anyone think that Lydon's Open Source will benefit from the publicity?

I thought you meant you were reading the front page, and couldn't see the problem. Enjoy the link, it could disappear *at any moment*.

I am not Roger L. Simon.

I'm Michelle Malkin.

I wonder whether Mr. Jihad Against Human Nature is a regular reader, or a Pajamas referral. Actually I don't wonder.

I hope "medi" was a typo.

My approach to semiotics is deathly serious, Mr. nature-Jihad, sir.
