I figured it’s time for me to put my thoughts into cyber space. Part of it has to do with what my girlfriend said the other day: “I think you like to hear yourself talk.” I gave her a five-minute point-by-point run down of why her statement was more or less incorrect. So this blog is an attempt to talk myself out before I see (annoy) her.
Why a political blog, then? Part of it stems from the lack of anything interesting about my daily life. Part of it stems from a long-standing interest in politics. A lot of it stems from the fact that I am really sick of conservatives spouting nonsense, giving other conservatives a bad name.
(That having been said, I think that is true of both parties.)
I read the first post on a number of other blogs to get an idea of what I should be doing here. Each had at least an introduction, and some listed a number of goals the authors hoped to accomplish. With that template in mind, I will do the same:
Goal 1: Avoid a lawsuit
Goal 2: Continue the blog past five days
Goal 3: Make at least one disparaging remark about Canada
I would never go so far as to say I am writing for a particular demographic. The reason is not because I don’t know what demographic I would write for, but rather because I am realistic enough to know that it will be hard to find any demographic within my anticipated readership (my estimate—somewhere in the area of 6, but that’s just a ballpark figure).
That is all I have to say for the moment.
