The Rocky Calls Me Out On My Ego, Then Feeds It
by Jon Caldara | 12:39 am, October 28, 2008 | Comments Off
Usual statement coming out of a man on a date - “Enough of me talking about myself, let’s hear you talk about me.” In that spirit I hope you’ll enjoy this Rocky Mountain News piece about me. Is it accurate? It only categorized me as a self-aggrandizing, ego maniacal wanna-be adult film star. Which of course is completely true… but they made it sound like it was a bad thing! In all seriousness, it was a fair hearing, and I don’t have too much to complain about. Not only did they give me a whole page and a half with a photo, they did a good job talking up Amendment 49, which included mentioning some of its major endorsements, the mountain of money we are up against ($118,000 vs. $15,000,000), and the world famous sock puppet YouTube video. (Which by the way are still up for bid on Ebay!)
On a side note, it’s funny how “No-Show Knox” likes to chime in against 49 only when there’s no one around to respond. This is the guy who refused to do a televised debate with me over Amendment 49 after he confirmed he would.
This article was just the sort of media attention a “…dyslexic bald man with a beard, a deadpan expression, a live-wire smart mouth, a 24/7 compulsion for political incorrectness, the soul - if not the looks - of a porn film star, a puckish sense of self-deprecating humor, a flair for “pissing people off” and the unwavering rectitude of a crusader for the Gospel of the Free Market” revels in.

Of course not! Why would anyone conclude that errors are geographical? Errors are errors and attempts to reinflate the British economy using the same hot air compressors that we use here aren’t going to work any better over there than they have here.
