Random radicalism

The cynical charity readership drive continues apace. At the moment we're staring down the barrel of a single figure donation despite the best efforts of several people. Obviously you haven't been randomly stopping people in the street/internet cafe/movies and telling them to visit this site. Consider yourself reminded.

In the meantime in another bid to boost my numbers I am going to make some random statements that should help boost my readership AND piss a lot of people off:

1. George W. Bush is a far better President than Ronald Reagan ever was. Invading Iraq was the single best policy an American President has had in over 20 years. I predict that George W. Bush will receive the Nobel Peace prize as a reward for the war on terror, ridding the world of Sadaam and the Taliban and for changing the Middle East from a place to be appeased to a place that can be changed.
2. Ted Rall is a c*nt.
3. Dave Winer is a desperado loser weiner.
4. Glenn Reynolds really works for Microsoft and will one day rip his mask off like at the end of a Scooby-Doo episode and say, "I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids," before Shaggy makes a joke that the whole gang chuckles to.
5. Tim Blair is really a female university student studying philosophy soon to join the Labor Party.
6. Michele and others suffer from multiple-personality disorder according to stupid dumb idiot Micah Wright.
7. When-oh-when will those morons in Washington get it right?
8. Look at those stupid Tories/Labor/Liberals/Republicans/Democrats/Commies/Greenies and how they've stuffed everything for the average person.
9. The French and Germans were right about Iraq except the bits they were wrong about Iraq.
10. Consistency is for wusses.

Iconoclasts 'r' us. This kind of thing seems to work.

He did it and he'll do it again.

I'm not sure where you're going with this. Are you trying for the "hate me because I'm beautiful" or the "pity me because I'm ugly" thing?

I'm pretty good at both hate and pity, so I can probably accomodate you either way. I'll send an invoice with my billing chart. Look for the discount code for people with babies on the way.

See, you're going about this all the wrong way. The key is to discover some pretty young thing who sleeps around with Communist Party officials for money and blogs about it anonymously. Then, you break the story. Be sure to throw in 'anal' into every other sentence. Also, negotiate a book deal for her.

Dave Winer is somewhat self-important, but he did do a lot for blogging, like inventing the RSS feed.And if he ever links to you, you're set for life.

Donate .25 for my .02

So, is it just me, or did anyone else notice the similarities between OJ Simpson and Shakespeares Othello?

Managed to graduate high school on that term paper hehehe

I came, I saw, I read....now pony up $.25 for Sgt. Hook.

richard,

Dave Winer did not invent RSS, Netscape did. This fantasy is all part of "somewhat self-important" Dave's efforts at self-aggrandizement. He's repeated the lie enough times that a few people are now starting to believe it. It has nothing to do with reality, however.
