Express Times Scrapes Bottom of Barrel

The Express Times has an interesting weekly feature called Five Questions, an audio interview with local luminaries like shy and soft-spoken Jim (flaming monkeys) Hickey or Easton's Chanelle Price, the fastest mid-distance runner in the country.

But now it's summertime, and all the important people are at the beach. So for this week's Five Questions interview, poor Sarah Cassi was forced to interview a blogger - moi. I had to promise to keep my hands on the table at all times for some reason.

Q. Do you have sources you depend on or people that feed you information?

"I make most of it up. It's pretty much fabricated. It's pretty much pure lies. It's totally worthless. Thank you very much."

Express Times editor Joe Owens has his own report.

Q. Why don't you write a newspaper column?

"Because they'd need to run my picture and people don't deserve that at the breakfast table."

That bastard! I'm pretty sure I can nail him with libel for that one.

  3. I like the looks debate.

    I got you all beat but that is besides the point.

    No one can sue, your on the record "its all fabricated lies."

    How many times do you get sue threats from this blog per year?

  11. Whether it's the MSM or even this blog, it's amazing how many good and productive stories are never mentioned. It's always the crap.

  12. I have to write about what interests me, not what interests some anonymous commenter. If I spent my time trying to give people what I think they want, this blog would be much different.

    Having said that, I am just one voice and entitled to no more weight than any other voice. if you feel that other issues deserve attention, you should start your own blog and start writing about them. Perhaps we can learn from you.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
