In case readers were interested, I thought I’d mention that National Journal’s Blogometer did it’s “Blogger Spotlight” feature today on me. (It’s towards the bottom of the page.)
It includes some info on my background, my schedule, and my only-vaguely-coherent response to a question about how I see “the new media and old media affecting and influencing each other in the next five years.”
If you’re interested, take a look. And now, back to the news….
This has got to be a fake.
There’s not a single Seinfeld, Python, or Simpsons reference in the whole piece.

To tell you the truth, the questionnaire came in written form, so I saw question after question, with nothing in between. I was very tempted to insert, after “what is your name”:
What is your quest?
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
what, African or European?
MC Hammer has a blog?
aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
See, I woulda done it. The interview would have been binned, but I woulda done it 😉
There’s been a “rabbit in the crosshairs” blog ad this week that conflicted me.
Was it fair for liberal bloggers to promote Dick Cheney shooting the Easter Bunny in the face?
Or was it a good thing, so that we can find the Grail? I mean, ‘e’ll do you up a treat, mate! LOOK AT THE BONES!!
Ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis.
CB, if you are hard pressed for some fun, non-political blog reading, I suggest you try Diary Of The Food Whore.
CB – Thanks for sharing that piece with us. One thing that’s always impressed me with your blog is the volume of quality work that you turn out on a daily basis. I was unaware of your other work so now I’m even more impressed.
Once again we apparently owe Ms CB a vast debt of gratitude for having you take to the cyberwaves and making all this possible. Thank you, ma’am!!
I just want to know one thing: Can you get me Dave Barry’s cell phone number?
I love Dave Barry. 🙂
Oh yeah, almost forgot:
What is your favorite color?
Wow. You’re only 32? Why do I suddenly feel old?
As for Python references during an interview, check this out. In all probability, not the impression one wants to give to (most) others.
That said: “Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let’s not bicker and argue over who killed who.”
Oops. Link didn’t work. Check this cached piece instead.
Damn … you’ve done more at 32 than many folks do their whole lives.
I’m only a few years older yet am still struggling to find work as a freelance writer. I’m envious, jealous, depressed … 😉
Actually, I always find it interesting to see the people behind the blogs. Gives them a bit more of a personal feel.
Oh .. and I guess this is where I can post this:
Brian: I’m not the Messiah!
Arthur: I say you are, lord, and I should know. I’ve followed a few.
Brian: I’m not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
Girl: Only the true Messiah denies it!
Brian: What?! Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right… I am the Messiah!
Followers: He is the Messiah!
Brian: Now, fuck off!
(pause)
Arthur: How shall we fuck off, oh Lord?
Ginger/MaryAnn?
Boxers/Briefs?
Crunchy/Creamy?
Camaro/Firebird?
Biscuit/Toast?
Coke/Pepsi
How about the really important stuff?
I’ve known CB for seven or eight years and just wanted to point out that this profile left out a lot of interesting facts. Here are some:
* Steve has special glasses that enable him to see through time itself.
* Steve has a long history in journalism. At age 8, he was appointed editorial page editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. His first editorial was “Why Spiderman Rocks and Superman Sux.”
* While there is much talk about “Mrs. Carpetbagger,” Steve in fact lives in a polygamous relationship with six women, including a set of twins.
* You know those little round white sticky things with the hole in the center you can use to reinforce the holes in notebook paper? Steve invented those.
* In the late 1970s, Steve was briefly a member of the Bee Gees.
What, no picture of you and the Mrs.? Well, better to leave something to the imagination.
Surfer dude…boy in the ‘hood…body builder…investment banker…hmmmmm…?
