Angry Bloggers Demand Substance

By Not Quite As Angry, August 25, 2009

This Talking Points Memo covers the story, “Enraged bloggers took to the streets and information superhighways today to protest ABC News’s lack of substance in yesterday’s [April 18, 2008] debate.”

A humorous post pokes a bit of fun at reactions of bloggers to mainstream media.

Since most bloggers already boycott Fox News, CBS News, NBC News, CNN, and most other major news outlets for various infractions, they risk suffering from severe news deprivation. A real medical doctor, who specializes in the news-related pathologies, expressed concern:

‘Addicted bloggers can survive for weeks without news, but it takes a toll on their nervous systems. Their posts begin to take on incestuous qualities, as they start to write about nothing but other blogs. They lose their friends, their spouses, and their pets, until their only social interactions come from similarly afflicted victims. Often, they try to escape and write anguished farewell posts, only to return a few days later with disturbing new avatars.’

Asked if there was any cure, the doctor responded:

Turn off the computer.

If you suffer from angry blogging, take 5 deep breaths and open up another tab on that browser, because I’m sure you have something to say.

The Angry White Dude

By Not Quite As Angry, August 20, 2009

If “My Left Wing” is as far left as they can go, this guy is definitely on the far right, although part of me wonders if there is actually a category for where this guy lands politically. The angry white dude is not afraid to offend people on multiple levels and say what he thinks, no matter the repercussions, after all, it’s his right.

His tagline:

In defense of the most ridiculed and unappreciated being on the planet…THE WHITE MALE…

This is a blog that is bound to push your buttons no matter your political stance. He’s not afraid to make fun of other belief systems and his blog is entirely politically incorrect. You may leave offended or you may leave sensing a hint of truth in some of his posts, it just depends.

Sometimes my complete opinions are probably best left unstated… after all, I’m not quite as angry.

Does Anyone Read This Blog: Yes. With a 242,907 Alexa rating, it’s not too bad.
Is the Anger Justified: Yes. We all have the right to an opinion.
Anything Else Interesting: His tagline – “In defense of the most ridiculed and unappreciated being on the planet…THE WHITE MALE”
