Except for the gunmen mowing down people in Iraq (thank you again Mr President and Congress), police crackdowns in Zimbabwe, and meteors almost hitting an airliner over New Zealand. Hey! What an excuse! General, all those helicopters were hit by METEORS! I mean, why wouldn’t Murka believe it? They still think Ronald W Reagan was a saint!

With that, let me take a moment to be as pompous as possible and go over what this site is NOT:

It’s not a site dedicated to electing everyone who claims to be a member of the Democratic Party but votes like a member of the Republican Party

It’s not a site where you can be banned on whims. You’ll have to pull a real whopper to get banned here. Accuse me of being like mass murderers, for example

It’s not a site that’s going to frequently look into the fetid hearts of money motivated political bloggers. There are already sites here on WordPress that do a better job on that than I could ever do. Thank you

What this site WILL do is look at a snapshot of the day’s events and then I’ll spout off my opinions about it. Some days it will be humorous, others outraged. But it’ll NEVER be choreographed from above, in lockstep with “little sister” sites. I’m too much the cynical crab-ass for that to happen. And I’m trusting you all to keep me honest. If anyone on my blogroll told me I was full of shit that day, I’d take it to heart and step back. Anybody is capable of earning that same trust, let me know what you’re thinking

Thanks for stopping by

Kevin
