Verbal extremism in defense of civil liberties is no vice

Anything you say can and will be used against you
Miranda rights don't apply online, so even though I don't commit crimes in the first place, if I did you wouldn't know about them from reading this blog because I know better than to write anything like "I'm living large off the proceeds of yesterday's tri-state crime spree."
I've taken to appending things like "jihad bomb explosive anthrax fuck you DHS" to the bottom of emails. I'm confident there's a point to this.
Near as I can tell, you don't endorse Ron Paul. I'm thinking my next bumper sticker may be "if you didn't vote for Ron Paul then just shut the hell up".

You must be new around here,Ted - Jennifer once changed her party registration to vote for Paul. BTW, cool handle,dude - but jackass isn't spelled that way.
Reading all six years of my blog archives is arguably too much to ask of anyone, but perhaps, before making sneering passive-aggressive insulting observations insinuating how things just might be my fault because I haven't written the proper blog posts, you could try Google to see if such posts do, in fact, exist? Like, if you search for "feral genius" and "Ron Paul," you might find results where the former has written about the latter.
Hey .... I wasn't sneering. I don't think I was being passive-aggressive either, but I should probably take your advice and google that before making any firm claims. And I don't blame you for anything, but I'm the victim here. Something like that.
Anyway, I really had been thinking of the aforementioned perhaps somewhat misanthropic bumper sticker and just tossed it in. I looked to see if there was a site searcher but didn't see one, and I didn't think to google RP with "feral genius", which appellation does indeed winnow the riffraff.
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

Hence my qualifier "near as I can tell". Next time I pop by a blog I'll be sure to read all the posts for a few years back.
Maybe you should just stick to spell checking and leave the heavy analytical lifting to others, mein herr. That last bit is German.

What Ted won't tell you is that he ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2008, and he voted for Obama. So who's to blame?
