I can't hear you, I have a blog in my nose

With a new blog being "created" every 10 seconds or so, its the
near-ultimate vanity, especially for those who think that if people
can't understand them or don't care what they have to say, talking
LOUDER is the answer.
Not me, Usenet be plenty big enough for to satisfy my personal desire
to be the neo-assholio for fun and pleasure and to jab at termite hill
and scare wannabe Bucky Fullers and junior Beavises alike and bite my
crank muchly, ok ok!!! Braze "Bob," too?
Bloggers are ordinary people, many of them uneducated
and with nothing interesting to say.
They're sitting in their rec rooms, regurgitating and spinning
what real journalists have dug up through hard work.
They don't have sources, they don't report
and no one holds them accountable
when they make mistakes or flat out lie.
Yeah, there's a new sheriff in town. Unfortunately,
he's drunk, he's mean, and he works for the bad guys.

If I whacked my forehead and went "D'OH!"
for every mistake I'd made,
I could rest a beer can in the hollow
I have never made but one prayer to God,
a very short one:
"O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous."
And God granted it.

I may be a living legend,
but that sure don't help
when I've got to change a flat tire.

However,
Journalists are ordinary people, most of them undereducated
and with nothing interesting to say.
They're told what to write, regurgitating and spinning
what their editors, spin doctors and fax machine say.
They don't have sources, so they call them "high level"
and until bloggers came along no one held them accountable
when they make mistakes and flat out lie.
Yeah, there's a new sheriff in town. That's because
the old sheriff was drunk, mean, and dishonest.

Hello,
The only difference between the old Sherf, and the new one is the
new one is personal, fearless, angry as hell, drunker, meaner, has
more time, has an axe to grind, is as honest as his source, produces
the source for debate, has memory and personal experience from
which to draw for his subject matter, and has a day job.

Wow, if I could turn your hubris into gasoline, I could fuck the Arabs
back to stone where they belong. Cool!
