I have always wanted to do a diary, but just couldn't seem to break into the smoky, backroom boy's club that is the playground of Boss Kos. Finally, after some helpful right wingers clued me in, I found out the way into the well-guarded halls of Diaryworld: cold hard cash. As the wingers explain with knowing nods, "Jon Corzine got a diary at Daily Kos after Jerome started consulting with him."
Ah-ha! Armed with this juicy piece of information, I gave Markos a call and explained my interest in doing a diary. After giving him a little bit of the wink-wink-nudge-nudge, he got my meaning quite clearly, if you know what I mean. Borrowing from
Rasheed Wallace, Boss Kos told me how it's done. "CTC," he says, "Cut The Check."
One hundred bucks later and here I am, the author of a diary. Wow. It feels good, it really does. Corzine must have really thought those consulting fees were worth it once he was finally able to "get" his diary.
And with this diary, I would like to propose another venture for Boss Kos. Why give away Trusted User status? As my daddy always said:
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
And so I'd like to propose TU Status be sold. Cash, check or paypal, whatever works best for you. Please share your thoughts on what YOU'D be willing to pay for play!
