I know all of you are waiting eagerly for the details of BobLee’s Big Election Adventure on Tuesday. Since I can’t even go to a Waffle House for a bowl of chili without “three columns worth of weird” for dessert you can bet there were some “moments” to rehash. We’ll cover those moments.

BobLee is always waggling his finger at most of you about “hating” too much. “Hating Wuffies, hating Tar Holes, hating Baddour – Amato - Jim Knight – Coach K – Laettner – Dickie V – Caulton Tudor – and the DOT folks screwing up I-40 thru the RTP. Well even Ye Olde Rogue Journalist can gin up some toxic bile on occasion. I’ve hated “the mainstream media” for quite some time but those lying, no-count, blow dried hypocrites have really dropped their drawers and mooned America this time.

...

Half of the media “homers” I note above are “against my side” but I respect every last one of’em for their upfront “honesty”. I would kiss James Carville on the mouth (he’s purtier than Susan Estrich!) before I’d walk across the street to pee on a burning Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, Couric, Woodruff, Dowd, King, Sawyer, etc … blow dried, lip glossed lying hypocrites … EVERY ONE OF’EM!

Hey Tree Huggers, you want to save wood? Shut down the worthless lying fishwrapping crap called “large metropolitan newspapers”. We can line our birdcages and litter boxes with shreds from Dan and Petah’s trenchcoats.

This election cycle was the nadir for these pompous clowns. The Last Round-up for them having any significance at all … and they went down appropriately Lying and Crying. The Era of The Anchorman is Over … long live The Age of Blogging.

I encourage everyone to click the link and read the whole article. "BobLeeSwagger" is the screen name of an internet journalist based out of the Triangle area of NC. He originally ran UNC Sports-based columns, but his topics have expanded as his readership has grown.

He has some great bits about working as a poll watcher in a majority Democrat district and running into one of the lawyers brought in to stir up trouble...

PING -- can you pass this link on to some of the NC regulars as well. I'm sure someone besides me reads SwaggerSays, or used to read GoHeels.com...

Thanks. Who among us will be the new media moguls? Who will eventually go into television, hopefully before this next four years has elapsed? Who will do so without any hidden, anti-conservative agenda?

It's hard. My Best Man went to J-School with the intent of being a Conservative journalist. He lasted a couple years after graduation at a local TV station before quitting after they wanted him to do hit pieces on people. Now he's working in a library, out of "mainstream" media for good...
