#10: So no plans to resign. Gotcha. I don’t blame ya. Hell, it’s gonna be Wingnutville over there at Wide Shut. You’ll be a hero!

Spirit of bloggerhood? what does that mean? For that I’m going to ask for a timeout and point back to #6 and say let’s give the PD time to respond. This all just went down today, and Jeff obviously works in internet time (like you and I) whereas the PD staff does not.

#8: No gotcha. You cleared that up thankfully. I appreciate that. I was unaware of your namesake(s). I had to once clear up that I wasn’t a terrorist with some Freepers. Try that one on. Whoah buddy!

It does detract some, but is also a part of the issue at hand. Is other forms of partisanship off limits when it comes to firing Wide Shut bloggers?

I’m wondering also in the spirit of bloggerhood if you’ll resign in protest from Wide Shut over the treatment of a fellow (albeit other side of the aisle) political blogger? Yes? No? Maybe?

I will disclose (since you asked) that I have never given money to any politician currently or in the past, Republican or Democrat. I’m reluctant to say this, because I think it diverts from the issue at hand, but since everyone now thinks they’ve got me in a “gotcha” moment, I might as well clear that up.

#6: So you will not publicly disclose any current candidate you may or may not have given money to at this time?

To my knowledge no one disclosed anything when we were hired. And no not the wildlife conservation thing, that should have been your first clue I’ll certainly say more later, but I think for now, out of courtesy I’ll give Jean Dubail and the rest of the folks time to respond first.

#4: So who have you given to if that’s not you? I did doubt the wildlife conservation thing. Thanks for clearing that up.

Did you disclose any political contributions you have made in the past to the PeeDee? Will you here now? Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, what do you think of the firing? Will you stay on knowing that you could get shit canned at the drop of an incumbent phone call?

Eric think about it, read through my archives. and consider whether I would be the type of guy to give Jim Petro $.50 let alone $5.00. And Voinovich too! As if!

Ya think there might be more than one Dave Stacy in all of Ohio?

Let’s see, Plunder, Ohio Valley, PBD, and BFD…boys, I do believe we found ourselves a raison de storm.
