I would ask, is this sick-making to me alone?<\/a> — but I heard about it from a nauseated reader before I had seen it myself.<\/p>\n

We don’t take any money out of this site at all, not even Amazon affiliate fees<\/a>. I don’t want for anyone reading BloodhoundBlog ever<\/em> to doubt our integrity.<\/p>\n

I am repelled by advertising on real estate weblogs, but taking in-kind bribes for pimping vendors and their dubious wares is simply corrupt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Until today, there were no rules for BloodhoundBlog contributors — if for no other reason than because it had never occurred to me that anyone could do<\/em> something this disgusting, much less celebrate<\/em> it. Today we inaugurate our first rule:<\/p>\n

If you write for us and if you have taken bribes in the form of cash or merchandise from a vendor, please send me your resignation. If I find out that any BloodhoundBlog contributor has taken bribes from a vendor, I will fire you on the spot. I love having our contributors here, but we each one of us have to be above reproach, now and always. This is the way I built this place, and thus it will remain, even if I have to go back to writing alone.<\/p>\n

The one bright spot in this, for me, is that not one of these jackals made their bribe offers to me.<\/p>\n

Un-frolicking-believable…<\/p>\n

I have two more posts scheduled for the day, but I’m so angry I could spit. I’m going to mix myself a drink and toast, one by one, the people I know for sure I can trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
