Greetings,
I have received a few questions concerning my recent political blogs and I figured I would just post them here and be done with it.
1. Are you a Journalist? Not in the traditional sense. I do not have a major in Journalism nor do I do this as a career. It is a hobby and as a freelance writer if the story is good enough sometimes people will bite.
2. Who have you written for? A few online and print publications including Altsounds.com (under pen name Puritania) Metro Detroit Weekly, Metro Times, and the Grosse Pointe News. Currently seeking a freelance assignment with a major magazine however as I am superstitious I will wait til the deal is sealed before announcing it.
3. You have made mention of being a minister is that true? Yes it is. I was ordained by the Life Church as well as the Church of New Horizons. However, due to some conflicts within these mega churches I have ceased preaching though I still hear confessions and perform various ceremonies.
4. Why do you write about Politics? I am a political junkie. I believe Politics is the biggest natural high you can get on a real newsworthy day. Take for instance this whole stock market crash the past week. Who DIDNT get short of breath and go into an adrenaline fueled barely contained panic as we watched over a trillion dollars disappear in 8 days.
Why do you hate John McCain so much? I dont hate John McCain. In 2000 when John MCCain was running I was a huge supporter. He had brilliant ideas and he knew how to motivate people. This year John McCain has become erratic and has made rather poor decisions in his campaign. I was severely disappointed when his campaign took the "Obama is a terrorist" route. Yesterday in Minnesota I think he finally understood what his campaign had done and when a woman in the audience accused Obama of being an Arab McCain defended Barack only to be booed by his supporters. Trying to spread fear and hatred when you yourself say you put "Country First" is a complete abomination. As a former Prisoner of War he knows better then that.
