Diplomacy is beyond the scope of this blog.

This is my spot to speak my mind, and to point out the dumb/mean/unethical stuff people do that shouldn't be overlooked. This is where I intend to rant when I'm irritable - and lately, I'm irritable a lot.

Feel free to join me in ranting, to correct me when I get it wrong, or to offer opposing views - although if your opposing view is composed entirely of the talking points flung at us by the wingnuts on the right in Rockette-like unison, then be warned: your talking points will be flung back out. Offer reality-based opposition, or go comment somewhere else. Do not bother to quote Glenn Beck to me. That man is nothing but a giant talking prick, and I have no interest in discussing politics or media ethics with a penis.

So. There you have it. I've defined my goals. Time to get started.
