To the Reader Who Bought the 47-Inch Vizio 3-D LCD Home Theater Screen

One of our readers bought an $888 big-screen TV through our Amazon Associates links and thereby earned me a $35.52 commission — thanks! It’s always amazing to discover that readers are buying high-end electronics via our Amazon links, but what great bargains, huh? And what a huge selection. One of our readers is apparently building […]

Lubricating the Debt-Ceiling Deal

The negotiations continue in Washington. It’s OK with Harry Reid and one liberal sees it as an “unprecedented political victory” for the GOP. Ri-iiiiiight. That Mr. G Guy offers a suggestion for how conservatives can make their end of the bargain slightly less painful. However, he misses a lucrative opportunity to monetize this occasion. Perhaps […]

Why Beautiful Women Read This Blog

It’s not just because I’m sexy, y’know. It’s also because the ladies know that they can shop our Amazon Associates links for all kinds of health and beauty supplies. Just the other day, one of our readers ordered an Andis Micro Turbo 1600W Dual Voltage Hair Dryer for $13.99 — which paid me a 4% […]

While We Have Not Yet Sold Any $120,000 7-Carat Diamond Rings …

. . . I was very pleased to see on the Amazon Associates sales report that one of our readers bought a Motorola Xoom Android Tablet for $499.00, thus earning me a sweet 4% commission of $19.96. Another reader bought a Nikon CoolPix camera for $109 — a $4.36 commission for me. Ka-ching! And then […]

To the Reader Who Bought the THD Electronics 30-Watt Rack Mount Amp

Dude, thanks! I checked the Amazon Associates report and was stunned to find that someone had ordered a $1,625 guitar amp, thereby earning me a $65 commission. Once again, I’m amazed to earn a commission on a product I never even knew Amazon sold. And since we’re talking musical instruments, how about . . . […]

Re-Explaining the Amazon Thing (Or, Is Your Husband Reading The Right Blog?)

When I’d mentioned earlier that someone bought a $199.99 piece of jewelry via my Amazon Associates link — thereby earning me an $8 commission — some of the commenters seemed not to understand how it works. Look, here’s the wonderful Amazon “carousel” widget: Amazon.com Widgets This is a selection of products I’ve picked out — […]

To the Reader Who Bought the 1/8 Carat Gold and Diamond Heart Pendant

Honestly, it never would have occurred to me to buy a $199.99 piece of jewelry via an Amazon link from my favorite blogger, but at least one “magnificent bastard” did, and thereby accomplished two purposes: Made his wife, fiancé, girlfriend or mistress very happy; and Contributed $8 toward supporting this blog, for which I’m probably even happier than […]

Thanks to Whoever Bought the Universal Network 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player

Somebody got a sweet deal — only $499! — on that piece of high-end home video equipment via one of the Amazon links here, which earned me a sweet $20 commission through the Amazon Associates program. This is the program Democrats destroyed for Californians with their stupid Internet tax, but apparently the Democrats who run Maryland’s […]
