Nothing Personal, I'm Just Right
We all have questions. We sometimes seek advice. Sometimes the professionals, even such experts as Ann, Abby and Dan Savage, can't supply the answers.
This is where I come in.
Allow me to introduce a new service, cross-posted and available on numerous self-indulgent blog sites. You need something figured out for you, rely on me. Put your faith into the incontrovertible fact that, nothing personal, I'm just right.
But wait. I can hear some of you shake your head in irritation at my pomposity. Here's where you get the opportunity to Prove Me Wrong. In matters of Fact the method for proving me wrong should be obvious. In matters of Opinion proving me wrong is done by convincing me to alter my infallible opinion. Those who succeed will be authorized to put the fact down on their resumes.
When challenging me on matters of opinion the exact points must be stayed with. For example, if I mention that abortion is reprehensible and kills a living being, you won't draw me into a dialogue by responding with "what about rape and incest?" That aspect of the debate would only be approached once we beat the subject of living fetuses to death.
Questions will be drawn from comments, emails, voice mails, postcards and verbally through chance encounters on the street.
All subjects are acceptable, whether it's asking my views on politics or religion, whether it's seeking my predictions on the weather or the Superbowl, whether it's seeking help on some algebraic problems, or whether it's getting advice on cooking spaghetti.
The ball's in your court. Let's make this happen.
