Now that the presidential election season is in full swing, political commentary is everywhere: TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and on and on. Each of these bastions of information dissemination are naturally serious journalistic enterprises. Often times, as I listen to or read what these journalists have to say there are dismissive (or derisive) references to "bloggers" and their uninformed non-journalistic opinions that apparently diminish the election process. "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet!"
Fortunately for us, there is no way in the world anyone could possibly take our blog seriously. Yes, we may be embarassed by it's content (and to our knowledge we still are unread by anyone who knows who we are) but at least we can take comfort that our blog is not among those that are so reviled by the political press. Of course, this is not to suggest that these true "journalists" would actually approve of our blog - there's just no danger of us infringing upon their territory.

First, you have to assume that we have readership. And then, that readership is relevant to the election process. I, myself, often ponder who is in the enviable position of being in the electoral college. Since this has been intriguing hordes of people since the dawn of time or at least since dawn soap was introduced, I think I will claim to be a member of the electoral college. Since no one truly knows who these mysterious folks are, who could possibly refute my statement. Don't you think it would peak a potential employer's interest if it were to show up, on say, a resume? How's that for distinguishing yourself from the crowd? I'll put it right next to my claim to be a Nielsen family.
Actually, for several years now, my resume has indicated that I'm a graduate of the electoral college - located in Secaucus, New Jersey. With a degree in political science of course. Naturally, as a graduate of the college, I have learned to be a good delegator. That is my primary talent.
Bet you partied a lot in school!
Now back to my diatribe. Ever notice that we also have copyright references to "republished with permission?" Now wouldn't that be a great job just to audit these remarks, and even better, to nail the commie bastards that try to infringe on the rights of others by copying without permission!
e.,
I think you misplaced your diatribe. It seems to be in line with "your" comment under the "Germain" post. Ironically, that particular comment was also irrelevant to everything that preceded it.
All I can say is, when we have stock prospectuses, the damn lawyers really know how to waste paper. Why do they always leave a page blank, and then leave us a note to tell us that the page was left blank intentionally! Damn attorney's kill trees and laugh impudently at the rest of us poor saps.
NK
Guess you didn't get the intentional irony, in that I was plagiarizing myself. Get me my attorney's now!
Copy that.
Isn't it ironic?
Send lawyers, guns and money.
Money changes everything
Same as it ever was.
Let it be
