"Us" & "Them"—4:20 PM
Kung Fu Monkey's John Rogers is on a roll again regarding politics and winning. He draws a very clever and unique analogy to stand-up comedy on the road – and, more importantly, adopts my ingenious suggestion that our president isn't a bad public speaker, he's a bad liar. (Of course, Rogers states it more clearly and eloquently and adds that Bush believes his own bullshit image, which I knew but never expressed because I don't proofread, I just spew it onto the keyboard and then hit 'publish' before I realize how many holes I've left in it. Oh well.)
Anyway, read Learn to say "ain't" and then read Feedback & Criticism. It's really impressive and I like stuff that's about starting the conversation no matter what side of the fence you're on. I tried it myself with a recent poll and it didn't go that well, so why not appreciate a savvier writer's more successful approach?
