Favorite bit of presidential press conference...
Q Thank you, sir. Mr. President, your policies on the Middle East seem, so far, to have produced pretty meager results as the violence between Israelis and Palestinians --

THE PRESIDENT: Major or meager?

Q Meager.

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, okay.

Q Meager.

THE PRESIDENT: Meager.

---------------------

Well, at least we're all in agreement now...

over the past few months I have enjoyed your entries a great deal, and look forward to reading them every day.
I was curious to know if you wrote for any papers, zines, or web sites other than your live journal.

keep it up!
weeee

Hullo over there Kendryk, you cute boi you. How's Texas treating you?

I don't write for anyone in particular, really... though I have submitted a lot of posts and commentary to sites such as MetaFilter, Slashdot, etc. I also do a fair amount of research and occasional reporting on what I write about.

Lately, I've been quite interested in writing for a living, though I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure where to start. A lot of the stories that interest me just wouldn't fit in that well with most media outlets.

I feel kinda guilty at times not writing more about my own life in my journal lately, but really, there's not always much to say, and that which there is to say is usually private for a reason. I would write about my inner turmoil and angst, but really, I don't have a ton of that anymore. Or maybe I do. Or maybe I just want to cloak myself in an aura of mystery. Yup. That must be it. ;->

I don't know if you have an inferiority complex or what, but you have got some nerve to disrespect our president that way... why don't you put down your drugs and try to run the country yourself.

Spoken from a true American,

So, you're upset that I posted the actual text of a press conference? Obviously reality is too disrespectful for you -- would you rather that I create a happy fiction for your benefit?

Unlike losers like Limbaugh, I don't take drugs, thanks. I don't run away from reality or hide behind anonymous comments. I speak for myself. If you take offense, go elsewhere.

Have a nice day!

So you're NOT going to try to run the country? Because that might be cool.
