Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
A friend and former colleague works at the Washington Times, so I visit the site regularly to read his articles. I even signed up for the daily news recap that arrives in my inbox each morning. The other day, I got an e-mail from the Washington Times and much to my surprise, it was a political message addressed to a “fellow conservative.” Um… I don’t know how to break this to you, Washington Times, but I am NOT a conservative, much less a Republican or a member of the GOP. I didn’t vote for you guy - even though I admire and respect him - because I don’t agree with your politics, oh, and I’m still kinda pissed off about that whole Dubya thing - thanks for that, we really appreciate you flushing our country down the toilet. You guys are awesome.
This unsolicited e-mail really rubbed me the wrong way, so I did what any responsible and involved citizen does - I blogged about it. I am not so naive as to believe the newspapers and news organizations are completely unbiased when it comes to politics - after all, we still live in a world where newspapers “endorse” a particular candidate and even as a journalism student and veteran journalist, I never understood how publishers reconciled the conflict of interest. Apparently, I don’t get paid enough money to understand. That being said, I’m going to lunch with a fellow liberal.
