... you've got nothing better to do, you've found the right place.
Hi there. Welcome to Fairly Imbalanced: a blog about
politics.
“But guys, seriously, why another blog about politics?” you, the hypothetical reader we’ll
probably never get, might ask if you turn out to exist. “There are, like, a
gajillion other political blogs out there, most of which are written by sober,
knowledgeable and maybe even experienced writers. Why not find a narrower niche and try to
make your way there?” Well, our new (and likely existentially-challenged) friend,
if you think we’re in this for the money, you’re wrong (until someone offers us
a check, of course).
No, this blog is meant to be a labor of love.
Wait, no, love's the wrong word. Spite? No, too harsh. Belligerence
probably fits much better. No doubt a few of these will be written under the
influence. Which influence, anyone could guess.
See, we’re all pretty politically-minded folks here, but the
state of politics is dreadful, and political discourse, political media and
political culture are even worse. Given this unhappy circumstance, we realized
we were faced with but a few choices:
1) Interstate suicide pact. Sounded painful. No enforcement.
Next.
2) I suggested we move to Canada. Our legal counsel immediately
vetoed his own idea because of something about law firms hiring raptors to
assassinate me. I'm not always the most lucid thinker, but that seemed decent enough reason to me. Plus, Bill was NOT about to become Bills,
Blue Jays, Raptors and Habs fan, much as I'd like it in at least two of those cases.
3) Start yelling into the darkness of the internet. Bingo.
We have a winner.
