The Rocky Calls Me Out On My Ego, Then Feeds It

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.
