E!! The True Conservative Story™

O. M. G.

My eyes began to glaze over and my brain began to atrophy a short time into this, so I did some skimming in order to keep my synapses firing.

At each break and dot divider I thought, “whew, it’s over” – but then I scrolled down and, to my horror, there was more.

Bono’s penning is bad.  REALLY bad.  Like a bad writer trying to be all writery and write like (what he thinks makes) a great writer.  Or something like that.  It sure makes me feel better about all the crap I wrote in high school third grade.

And/but Bono is a grown man and ought to know better. 

And why didn’t the editors, well, edit…?  Or just nix it?  (I guess if you’re the NYT you don’t say “no” to Bono.)

Hat Tip:  John Schwenkler who called it “Absurdity, in Three Parts”

Not much posting today because I was busy prep’ing for my KLAS Channel 8 interview re: Governor Gibbon’s State of the State speech next week, Nevada policy issues, and the role of blogging, citizen journalism and new media in politics. Clips will be televised next week in the days leading up to the speech.

I’m too tired right now to repeat what I said on camera, but I’ll sum it up for you sometime before next week’s event. Right now, I’m going to have drinks and dinner with Andrew and the Venerable Mr. Crum.

Cheers!

Apparently some of my readers, including The Venerable Mr. Crum, are often pressed for time and do not always have time to scroll through all of LadyBlog just to find my posts. 

It’s sweet that they care only about me, though I must say in all fairness that the other BlogLadies are nearly as bright and funny as I.  (ha ha!)

Following are a few of my most recent LadyBlog posts.  Forward the links and/or leave comments if you wish; it earns us points with the editors.
