The irascible Frank J. wants bloggers to answer his questions. OK, here goes:
1. Who the hell do you think you are?
Why not read my ABOUT page? Of course, I know Frank J. and other bloggers know this. This answer is directed at the MSM retards who think bloggers are just a bunch of bums in pajamas.
2. So, other than blogging, what's your job? Do you work at some fast food joint, dumbass?
For those MSM fools incapable of reading an ABOUT page: right now, I am a law student. That doesn't mean I'm unemployed. I work at the State Capitol as a legislative intern. I help our Congress make laws. Before that, I spent 4 years working as a quality-control specialist in a state-of-the-art semiconductor factory. And before that, I spent 6 years in the United States Air Force as a nuclear weapons inspector. Going back even further, we enter the dark years when I worked at Radio Shack; but I've never, ever, worked in fast food.
3. Do you have like any experience in journalism, idiot?
Define "journalism." Have I ever been paid by a conventional newspaper? No. But I was a disc jockey in high school and college. But more to the point, who cares? Benjamin Franklin, William Randolph Hearst, and Rupert Murdoch all got in on the ground floor of new methods of distributing news. If they were all getting started today, they'd probably all be blogging. They sure as hell wouldn't be like newspapers, nearly all of whom simply reprint verbatim whatever comes off the AP wire or was printed in the New York Times.
4. Do you even read newspapers?
Newspapers are irrelevant, archaic anachronisms.
5. Do you watch any other news than FOX News propaganda, you ignorant fool?
I watched Dan Rather on election night; that kept me laughing for weeks. Plus, it's informative: for instance, I learned that "if a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a handgun in there."
6. I bet you're some moron talk radio listener too, huh?
As much as I would like to be another ignorant brain-dead sheep blindly following the Rush Limbaugh talking points, I have things to do from 9 AM to Noon on weekdays. And I live in Eugene, so there is nothing worth listening to at night. Although on my commutes home from Salem, I enjoy listening to the Michael Savage show. But I don't understand the hatred of talk radio as a medium by the Left, when they started the whole thing with NPR. And why do they keep claiming they need a voice of their own, with the Al Franken crowd and Air America? They HAVE that voice in NPR, and have had it for decades. It's just that no one listens, because it sucks. Why does it suck? Well, they say it is because NPR doesn't get enough free government money. I say it is because they are devoid of ideas and spout leftist ideological drivel that drives sane people crazy.
7. So, do you get a fax from the GOP each day for what to say, you @#$% Republican parrot?
Don't I wish! Apart from about a dozen state politicians in Salem, the GOP largely ignores me. Too bad for them; I have ideas!
8. Why do you and your blogger friends want to silence and fire everyone who disagrees with you, fascist?
We don't want to fire everyone who disagrees with us. We want to fire people who get paid using our hard-earned and poorly-spent tax dollars when they disagree with us.
9. Are you completely ignorant of other countries, or do you actually own a passport?
When the whiney-assed subjects of other countries start paying taxes to the United States, I'll start giving a damn when they bitch about what we do.
10. Have you even been to another country, you dumb hick?
I'd wager that I've spent more time abroad than the average journalist for the MSM; drunken binges in Tijuana don't count.
11. If you're so keen on the war, why haven't you signed up, chickenhawk?
As I pointed out, I already served. In fact, I joined the Air Force back in early 1991, when we were engaged in Operation Desert Storm.
12. Do you have any idea of the horrors of war? Have you ever reached into a pile of goo that was your best friend's face?
No, thank God, I don't personally know the horrors of war. I want to do what I can to help, support, and protect our troops, so they won't have to experience loss and horror like you describe. And I think that our Defense Department has done an incredible job fighting this war with so little loss of life, American and Iraqi. Since 9/11, there have been less than 2,000 American soldiers killed, in comparison with 50,000,000 people liberated from despotic rule. Two-thousand is still 2,000 too many. But compare this to wars past. More sailors were killed in one day at Pearl Harbor than in all U.S. Military operations since 9/11. Just think about that. It staggers the mind.
13. Have you ever reached into any pile of goo?
I've poured liquid nitrogen on myself. Have you?
14. Once again, who the hell do you think you are?!
I think I am merely a tiny cog in the new machine that is the blogosphere, a new machine that is revolutionizing the way the world learns about the world. But don't worry; it won't be long before some better medium comes around and renders all us pajama-wearers as obsolete as Dan Rather. But unlike the previous generation, who felt they were the be-all and end-all of information, we have seen first hand that progress happens. So when the next medium comes around, expect us to embrace it, rather than fight it to the death.
