Now, that's pathetic.

But I guess that's the Bostonian Drunkard.

The very fact that someone bought and published an article that he wrote makes him a salesman of the highest order.  Obviously, there's some seriously batshit-crazy editors at the Slimes.

Uh, remember, the Bostonian Drunkard's books were done by vanity publishers, where one pays a fee in advance, gets a whole lot of cases of the printed book, and then hawks them at seminars and somesuch.

I just didn't want anybody to have the impression the Bostonian Drunkard deals with Random House or Harper & Row or Simon & Schuster or somesuch.

I couldn't remember all the Bostonian Drunkard's self-printed books, and so went away to look them up.

Never google "William Pitt," because one gets tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of responses; one should google "William Rivers Pitt."

http://www.amazon.com/William-Rivers-Pitt/e/B001H6W47S

The above link shows three books; I thought the Bostonian Drunkard had been more prolific than that.

Also, there's a "William Rivers Pitt" forum on the same page.

Been up a very long time now; no one apparently wants to discuss the Bostonian Drunkard.

Oh wow.

Possible pending bad news for the Bostonian Drunkard:

One notices the article's been changed since the last time I saw it (a couple of years ago).  It used to clearly hint the Bostonian Drunkard was an attorney in San Francisco; an impression the Bostonian Drunkard wanted to give the reader without outrightly lying.

Now it says he did "law-related work" in San Francisco; probably a courier or runner for the law firm of some pal of his paternal ancestor, or with connections to the attorneys on his maternal ancestress's side.

Knowing he's got a twitter account almost makes me want to get one and converse with him.

I found this at the wiki link:

This entry should be deleted. It's little more than a vanity posting, as Pitt is not well-known outside of the Democratic Underground forum.
