A Lot of Nerve

I know, I know, I haven’t written anything for a long time. A couple of folks have actually complained. I have written, but it’s been letters to the editor of local papers on a variety of topics. It’s been savage emails on a variety of topics.

I’m tempted to apologize, except for two reasons.

First off, I don’t know that there’s enough people out there reading these things to make an apology truly worthwhile.

Secondly, and more importantly, I’ve been busy as hell.

As I’ve written before, I’m the Chairman of Washburn County First, an anti-Wal-Mart group up in northwestern Wisconsin. We’re still trying to drive those no good sons-a-boar pigs out of town.

I’m also an anti-war organizer with the Iraq Moratorium, a national grassroots effort to stop the war in Iraq. You can read more about it at www.iraqmoratorium.com. We’re trying to convince those no good sons-a-boar-pigs in Washington to bring our soldiers home.

I’m also a health care reform organizer, having successfully argued for the placement of a crucial advisory referendum question on the November ballot in multiple counties up here in the northwest corner of the state, concerning health care for all Wisconsinites. Lots of sons-a-boar-pigs standing in the way of this one.

I was feverishly involved in our State Assembly primary up here too. We won!

I’m also married, which comes with certain obligations, as many of you probably know.

And I’m fighting to keep our community radio station, WOJB, a community radio station. This one’s a long story, indeed.

So, as you can readily see, I don’t have a lot of time to fritter away trying to entertain you! Why don’t you start your own website, write a regular rant, and then I can get my jollies every now and then reading your goddamn opinion? Did you ever think of that? Huh? No, of course not. You’re too busy, right?

Okay, okay, I’ll calm down. And I’ll try harder in the future. I want you to try harder too. Send me an email, at least, and let me know you’ve read this. And buy a CD! I don’t make a lot of money as an organizer. I’m making the world a better place for you, and you can’t even write me a goddamn email? Or buy my bargain priced CD chock full of great and insightful songs? And you want me to write you a regular column? You’ve got a lot of nerve. I like that in people.
