More questions than answers…

So, yesterday, I was having a conversation with a woman who shall remain nameless (let’s just say – she gave birth to me) about the Virginia Tech killings. Now, she is more conservative and more Republican than any of the people on this site put…

this weblog will not be silent…

So it seems as though some webloggers are attemtping to organize a One Day of Blog Silence in memory of the Virginia Tech shootings. See the title of this post if you could not already guess my reaction. First, silence……

At least they only registered the domain name for a year. I would have found it too amusing if they’d registered a domain name for three years for a single day’s worth of hype.

Thank you, Susan. I apologize for not having linked you as my source on the "day of silence," however, I like you and I like your blog... and given my attitude about the purpose of this event, I didn't want any of the venom splashing back on you.

Should be “pols,” not polls. As in politicians.

Especially not when the blog promoting the idea is not just about VTech but also about that damnable “larger point.” Especially not when the conservative blogs shutting up will be a huge boon to the polls who are even now working on ways to circumvent or even overturn the 2nd Amendment. And, last and least but fricking annoying, not when said blog simply says by one-blog fiat “the blogosphere is holding” the silence and also has one of those farking annoying URLs that won’t allow you to use your Gates-given right to use the Back button.

Bumptious, in all respects.

From VK: Er, yeah. All those reasons, too.

One Day Blog Silence…

On April 30th 2007, many bloggers will participate in a One-Day Blog Silence in honor of the victims at Virginia Tech. Bloggers have reportedly asked about commemorating other victims, inserting what seems to me to be political issues into what could o…
