Serial Killers and Elvis Wolf Babies
One of my faithful readers. Okay, my one faithful reader. Okay, my one reader who checks in infrequently, commented that my blog has transitioned from quaint, cute personal ruminations on sports, Starbucks and child care into an invective filled Drudge Report II.
Everyone in the industry knows that this is the November sweeps period, so sensationalism for the pursuit of higher ratings rules the day. Once the sweeps period is over and the high advertisement rates for my site have been established, I'll go back to the Mr. Rogers/Disney/Michael Powell tone.
My wife is trying to get her family to change their perception of me by sending them the link to this blog. She thinks that her family believes that I'm mild-mannered, even-tempered, and laid-back and that they would be shocked at how "evil, abrasive, and just plain wrong he can be." I think they've been around me enough to know that, while I indeed am mild-mannered, even-tempered, and laid-back, I also am certainly capable of making an obnoxious statement or two. Oh well, as the saying goes, behind every great man, there is a disappointed mother-in-law.
My wife also tweaked me by saying that I make blanket statements about extreme wacko evangelical christians while criticizing others for making similar statements about various races and ethnicities. Well, now they know how it feels because they are the biggest perpetrators of the practice.
Gosh, what do you think would happen if all of them found out that Jesus was black, and not some white mormon girl from Utah? Wait, Michael Jackson wants to become a white mormon girl from Utah. Holy shit, do you think?

First of all, why didn't you tell me about your blog? Second, how come you don't allow anonymous comments. Third, you self-described yourself as "mild-mannered, even-tempered, and laid-back?" How were you ever lucky enough to get your wife?
On behalf of all the sexually overactive leprechauns among your readership, I only want to say....."Blow me!"
