Now that sounds like fun. I’m already thinking about how I could turn something like this into really good radio!

Pandora,

No slamming needed. I just feel that if Obama is the better candidate then his record and policies would indicate it. Your post about Palin was great, because it points out what I have been saying: What is the need for all of these character attacks and spin bullshit? The candidates policies should speak for themselves. And I believe it is our duty, to present said policies and to debate them.

Yes, I saw the healthcare thread and Im pissed I didn’t comment on it and chose to defend Sara Palin instead. It really speaks volumes…

Call It, you make a valid point. One that might come to fruition after the election. Fair or not, I’ve been clear… I am not taking my eye off the ball. Does that mean I agree with Obama on everything? Of course not, and I will hold his feet to the fire AFTER he wins. I learned that lesson with Gore and Kerry. Go ahead, slam me!

BTW, my real issue Healthcare thread received only five comments. What’s that tell you?

“I think your idealism is clouding your judgment.”

Possibly.

I agree and completely understand that many bloggers/writers do what they do for precisely what you said: “to give our readers something interesting, witty, off-the-cuff, and slightly offensive to read.” And I don’t think Down With Absolutes is one of the sites I am ranting about here.

And it is truly ironic that the day after my friend and I talked about having round table discussions with people on all different sides of issues, especially on radio, you all go and announce the formation of delawaretalkradio.com. I was honestly thrilled to fucking death to see that.

My post was really a condemnation of the bullshit that gets thrown out on these partisan websites as truth. If some of the local bloggers could be asked to be held accountable by their peers for what they post as truth and news, maybe we as a community would become more intelligent and gain a better ability to sort out the bullshit in our already crazy world.

Thanks for the comment mike, and stop by more often!

I think your idealism is clouding your judgment. What you’ve written is all well and good, but how about those of us who really don’t give a damn and just want to give our readers something interesting, witty, off-the-cuff, and slightly offensive to read? Like I’ve said before, my site isn’t the place for “Real Issues.” If someone HAPPENS to learn something in the process of reading my site, cool. But I’m all about the entertainment value. People who read my site are those who are taking a break from their awful desk jobs and from their awful families. They don’t want to be bothered with issues. They want to read something light and stupid. Unfortunately, that’s how most of America is. I’m not saying that’s good or bad — it is what it is.

I’ve found myself these past few months creeping more into the “issues’ territory as I’ve written about school board, county council, and legislative meetings. But the issues always take a back seat; I have to be irreverent and humorous first. Issues second. If there isn’t a witty angle from which to present a story, then I generally don’t tell it. If I don’t enjoy writing something, then I don’t think my readers will enjoy reading it.

I appreciate your efforts, though. We need more young folk like you. I’d be all up for a meeting “on the issues.” Just so long as I can insert a fart joke or two into the proceedings!
