Yesterday afternoon I was flipping through the channel guide on TV and as I was scrolling down I something caught my eye. CSPAN 2, otherwise known as the Ambien channel, was showing coverage of the fucking Daily Kos convention.
Now I don’t read that shit, nor do I read other political blogs because life is too short and the assholery that goes along with it insults my intelligence. But I couldn’t resist. I had to take a look at this. When I tuned in there was a panel of assholes and some tenured prick was droning on about something, I have no idea what. Then they panned to the audience—Holy Mother of God.
I’ve never met another blogger in real life, but if that’s what bloggers look like I hope I never do. Half of them looked like the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and the other half looked like leftovers from a Star Trek convention. I’ve never seen so many freaks outside of a circus tent. A couple of them got up to ask insightful questions like, “I don’t think it’s possible, but can you help me hate Bush even more than I already do? Because it’s the focus of my life and I put that before my children.” I couldn’t believe the shit was on CSPAN.
Anyway I’m getting away from what these people looked like, which is the point of this post. I hate to be shallow, but if you look like those people I don’t fucking want you here. For all I know it might rub off like those people who look like their dogs.
Dude, I think it's just a certain genre of bloggers that look like that. Let's say, for instance, that SBD had a yearly convention. Now that would be something worthy of television; though it would probably be more approriate for HBO or Showtime than CSPAN. Instead of panels of tenured windbags, we'd have some kind of Monte Carlo night with a cash bar and a full compliment of gambling tables.
Maybe you should have some sort of contest~ A Picture contest. Yeah that's it. Who's the ugliest....or most gorgeous. I know you'd win Paul. As the most goreous I'm sure.
Just a contest for the love of God...any contest. I'm going through withdrawl.
An SBD convention. I can see it now--six drunks including ourselves. Although I can definitely see the gaming tables as part of the deal.
The problem with contests is that you have to have participants and we only have three readers. Yet, I remain open to suggestion.
That's because you don't have contests anymore. That & (no offense) Jim is missing in action.
You see your dearly beloved readers were ALL about the contests. At least I was.
I met Jim once - Remember Jim? - and Elizabeth of corporatemommy.mu.nu fame. We aren't ugly. (And we drank plenty of beer too!)
But the "Screw them" KosKids? Sheeze – their uglyness is plainly evident in their writing...
I had a fucking witty comment but the comment eater ate it... fucking comment eater.
What a momo...
