A few of my friends who write for Political Blogs asked me if I’d like to do some stories  for their sites- personally I think that what  they’re actually  asking is for me to get my husband to do the stories but you know, whatever…

Once- out of curiosity – I asked if they had actually ever read what I’ve written because I can’t imagine why a person who does political analysis would ask someone ( like me for example ) who does David Tennant stories (every darn chance I get -oh wait, mostly I do them for the pictures…never mind  those don’t count as stories- not even to me ) and stories about Space Boogers and cops getting into high speed chases with stolen donut trucks… to write for them.

So I sent links to some of my favorite stories ( and I use that word loosely ) over and I get this call that in part goes like this:

‘Do you ever do any serious stories?’

and I said

” Sure. When I want to see my stats treading water in a toilet bowl I do serious stories. In fact sometimes I flush them straight down The Porcelain God on purpose. That way  I  have an excuse for running David Tennant posts and Dancing Fruit clips for days on end. I  But look, I can’t play with my readers. A few times I’ve done a series of serious posts and I had to resort to writing about singing waffles and exploding pigeons to get them to come back. And let me tell you, that just about did me in. Do you know how hard it is to find sources about singing waffles? 

Just as an FYI- if you never, ever want to be invited to participate in any kind of  forum  to take part in a serious Political  discussion with sober people- make sure you mention David Tennant, toilets,exploding pigeons and singing waffles in the conversation.

It  worked for me.
