Political blogging on the Boss's dime?
Contributed by: Steve Mumford   on 1/21/2008

So many of us here love to debate politics! Some of us are so into it that we do it during work, and I imagine spend even more time trying to get the latest and greatest info to bring to the keyboard! I get a kick out of what I call closet bloggers who live a life seperate from their political stance. Take for example working for a Defense/Aerospace giant and blogging in an anti-war, anti-govt position. Are you a hypocrite to do this? If you blog about say your hate for wasteful government spending, but are blogging about it on the government's dime, what would that make you? Can you defend it by saying that you make up for it, but at the same time can you honesty say your behavior is ethical when everyone else in your position knows its wrong?

Bing, you're not part of the "vast, left-wing conspiracy?" Darn it! Wish you'd have told me sooner. Now what am I going to do with this nice tee-shirt I bought for your birthday? I thought it would be funny if we went out for beers together, you know, you in your "lefty" shirt, me in my "right wingnut" tee!

So you want unleash the Foxbloggers on me. I told you before I liked many of them. And I told them why I left, you and a couple of others who couldn't accept the fact that I wasn't part of a vast left wing conspiracy. Most of the bloggers there were pretty civil, even if we disagreed. It was just a case of few rotten apples over there that ruined it. I hope you don't try to ruin yourhub too.

You are nuts Steve. As in unreasonable. Anyone casual observer can read our exchanges for themselves and probably come to the conclusion that you don't argue facts, don't refute opinions, but attack personally or state something completely irrelevant, even if the people disagree with my point of view. You say I'm playing games and that I am part of some liberal conspiracy, that I am lying etc. I resent these statements and I resent your personal attacks. Reasonable people don't behave in this way Steve. Whether we're in a bar having a discussion over a beer, or on line, your comments amount to a bunch of right wing talking points, that I debunk easily, and this garbage about my work ethic and my alleged hypocrisy.

Still have it buddy! Getting restored and repainted from nose to tail as we speak. The Barrett Jackson ones are the ZR2s and such that they only made one or two of and only have 10 miles on them! Personally, I like driving them, so I will never have a quarter of a million bucks wrapped up in a car that I park and look at... Bing Buddy... I'm not nuts, just fed up with double standards, and hypocracy. I have informed all my old blog buddies that I found you here once again playing your games, so you should start to see them again real soon! Cause you know we love ya even without the fuzzy chin!

Bings point is clear and accurate. Hey Steve, do you still have that green Corvette? Those suckers are going for a FORTUNE @ the Barrett Jackson auto auction here in ScottsdaLe.

BTW.. Bing.. as to merit: You have always pretended to be well researched in your posts, but have been exposed before for the outright radical liberal material you choose. It is so bad that you can't even watch CSPAN without mustering up a spin on it! Fair and Balanced, ALL the truth, perspective, and context is what I subscribe to, and I'm not alone in knowing I will never get that from the alphabet media, CNN, Air America, MM, Newsweek, Time, US News World Report,MoveOn, DailyKos, or ANYTHING George Soros directly or indirectly supports. Almost everything you subscribe to has Soros behind it like the Wizzard! I illustrated it upon your request, and then you deny it? Hey, you deserve your lumps then.

Gee Wally! I don't know what you mean! You're all steamed about something that nobody else is.. Its almost as if you feel either guilty about something, or fear you might have to shut it down again before the boss sees the timestamps on all your posts! If only you could just demonstrate a fraction of work ethic, or accountability you might not have this problem. Maybe you should just go work for Air America. They too like to spout ridiculous pseudo facts pretending to be professional... I simply just brought up a topic, and you Buddy went crazy on it. I guess sometimes looking in the mirror hurts.
