When DSL Is NG for the SOTUS By the POTUS

keycop2.jpg

Tuesday was a tres frustrating day if you are a blogger, or at least for some of the folks such as myself who co-blog at The Moderate Voice.

(That’s TMV editor-in-chief Joe Gandelman at the left in the photograph. He’s complaining about his hotel room not having high-speed Internet access. I’m on the far right trying to figure out what a moderate is.)

Anyhow, most of you don’t care about the problems that bloggers have, nor should you. All you want is to be able to click on your bookmarks and download favorite blogs without a hassle. That’s what we want you to be able to do, too, but just when we start taking that old blogosphere for granted, it bites us in the backside. And at the most inopportune times.

I don’t know if you noticed, but these are heady days in the blogosphere.

There is so much important stuff going on — a new “American Idol” season, Britney’s underwear (or lack of), whether the Democrats will vote George off the island, and so on — that the challenge we bloggers face each day is not whether to blog but what to blog about.

Tuesday dawned as a day when problems would be especially inopportune because of the president’s State of the Union address (the SOTUS delivered by the POTUS in blogspeak), but they came in droves.

    Indeed, Swaraaj! I especially like Shaun’s sideblow at those critizising him for being not moderate enough:
    “I’m on the far right trying to figure out what a moderate is.”
    Hehehe, that’s a good one, Shaun!
    :D

    I found the picture and comments funny too (though I don’t think Shaun would be coming from the “right” side :-) )

    I’m wondering who the rest of the guys in the photo are? Other TMV co-bloggers? LOL

    Watch it, pal. I may not be a centrist centrist, but I’m big and I gotta badge.

    Thanks for the clarification Shaun… I mistook the one on the far right for superdestroyer.

    That full-faced fellow is the famous comedian, Fatty Arbuckle. He was later accused of involvement in the death of actress Virginia Rappe during a party. Arbuckle was acquitted of manslaughter, but the notriety ruined his career.
