Good Intentions

In the past few months, I've had several posts on Facebook that have turned into heated political discussions. These topics ranged from Haitian relief after one of the worst natural disasters on record in the Western Hemisphere, to controversial conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh attempting to buy the St. Louis Rams.

This is my attempt to insulate those who really don't care about anything I have to say from having to read those. If people are genuinely interested in my opinions, they'll come here. Since you've gotten this far, now seems like a good time to throw in a disclaimer: I'm going to be about as fair and balanced as Fox News on here. Hopefully even those of you who stick to newspapers caught the sarcasm and understood that means "not at all". I do have opinions on issues, and will most definitely be basing most of my posts around things that I believe, and presenting that opinion to you. That said, I can guarantee you that they will be presented in a tasteful and respectful manner.

I also am open to topic suggestions. Send me a Facebook message, SMS message, tell me in the hall, or ring my doorbell. Whichever you prefer. As for what I'll typically be covering, my topics of interest range from politics to sports. Most of my writings will be over the colossal circle-jerk that is our nation's capital, but others will be from the world of professional sports. (Golf, Tennis, Football, and Baseball to name a few.

If you managed to get this far, I commend you. There is perhaps a cookie in your future. Here's hoping you'll come back for more. I would definitely love any and all feedback. It helps assuage my fears that I'm typing to myself.

Pro populus, per populus.
