1st Annual State of the Blog Address.

I humbly offer this report in the hopes that some major politician will follow my lead and address his supporters and detractors alike in a similar fashion.... soon. :)

Seven days ago I blindly dove headfirst into the wacky world of blogging as an experiment, a ten day "test drive". I've decided to "buy the beater", muddle on so to speak, at least until the tank runs dry or until the "as is and shown" warranty expires.

On day 4, my wide open door policy attracted a few flies intent only on spewing mindless obscenties at some of my friends, (good folks who have swatted them into "fly paste" in the past) prompting me to toggle into moderated mode and get out the Pooper Scooper.
I've decided that for the time being to toggle back to the Unmoderated Wild West mode, after all,I can delete much faster than stupid people can comment. We'll see how that goes.

On day 5, I installed a hit counter to monitor the traffic, (no gridlock yet) this morning it was at 39.

THIRTY NINE! I know that doesn't sound like much (especially when you consider that most of them were me ;) )....

BUT....considering as there a 83.7 trillion web surfers out there (I counted) let's extrapolate those numbers, shall we.

If Zogby poll crunched those numbers, it would show that most Americans would favor the immediate impeachment, castration and lifetime incarceration of President Bush.

and...

If Newsmax crunched them it would show that he should be annointed "President for Life"!

go figure.
----------------

All in all, it's going well, our fan base includes numerous internationally famous radio talk show hosts and even a major political figure (think "heartbeat away") (wink wink)

I spent 21 minutes on this project from "decision to blog" to seeing it on the monitor.
Since then, I've spent countless hours figuring out the basic navigation, the simple tasks of adding links, e-mails, pictures and the like. Html hates me and it shows, but I'm working on it.
If you're expecting any major "gussy -ups, don't hold your breath, I'm in no hurry.

If anyone would care to put a link here to their site or blog, just let me know in comments or e-mail. If anyone is crazy enough to put a link to this work in progress on their community, consider this your permission and thank you.

In the weeks ahead, I plan to offer weekly-ish "Fencestraddles" of serious issues that affect us all and some of the web wierdness that I stumble across.

Please like me. and if you don't, it's ok, I do (obviously, I'm bloggin)

David....GET YOUR SLINGSHOT!









Proof positive that they WERE making steroids at Chernobyl.

I wonder if we could persuade this ape to beat the crap out of Mike Tyson.
I'd pay for that pay-per-view.

President George W. Bush- You should love him

but if you hate him, I must agree with you.
Please like me.

I think that President Bush, as the Commander in Chief of our armed forces should be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his political courage and personal heroism, "“Above and Beyond the call of duty"” in his war on terror, no matter where it'’s taken us to date or where it takes us in the future.

But.....
I think that the medal should be awarded to Dubya posthumously, after we shackle him in chains, throw a hood over his head and ship him off to Nuremberg to be hung for his war crimes and crimes against humanity.-

I think that President Bush should be awarded honorary Phd'’s from every University in the land with an economics venue for his insightful tax cuts and their boosting effect to our national economy.

However.......
I feel that every history book written from this day forward should have his name double asterisked (**) with an explanation to our grandchildren and their grandchildren as to why and how THEY got saddled with this gazillion dollar deficit in the national debt.-

I think that President Bush should win an Oscar for his award winning performances when shaking hands and smiling at Jacques Chirac, when hugging Vladimir Putin and when referring to Ted Kennedy as "“my friend"”.

But......
Ain'’t no but'’s about it THAT one he deserves, even a needy pandering Neo-Moderate has to draw the line somewhere. Please like me anyway.


Comment away, the bar is officially open.

Quickie bio:
Milquetoast N. Fencestraddler

Age: youngish old

Occupation: Unemployed, professional, management, laborer, entrepreneur, retired, student, other

Favorite Food: Tofu, the absence of taste allows it to absorb the flavor of nearby foods, the lack of texture make it easy to eat, even without teeth. If YOU hate tofu though, I do too.

Favorite Beverage: liquid based.


Favorite Movie: The Sound Of Music. But if you prefer Terminator, I must admit that Arnie would kick Julies butt.


MISSION STATEMENT

It is my goal to provide this service as an “oasis of enablement”, a “port in a storm” for any and all who need the ego boost of a yes man to agree with any of their opinions regardless of loonyness any time night or day. If you think that this is a stupid idea, let me know and I will change the format to anything that you like.

I vow to provide this free service till the day I die, at which time I will “will” it to my heir sons, Benign, Inert and Mootpoint, to carry on the family tradition in perpetuity……unless the hit count is dismal after the first 10 days, then I will shut it down, fold the tent and spend the rest of my free time playing Doom III. -


Okie dokie
Tomorrow (unless you would like me to start today) (or the day after….) we’ll get the ball rolling.
This guy seems to be getting a lot of attention: George W. Bush- President of the United States of America
Love him?
Hate him?
Admire him?
He makes you itch?

I’ll present a concise, windsocking , neutral opinion derived from material that I’ve researched from both sides and then the rest is up to you. (with me agreeing in a most pathetic manner, of course)
