An Editorial Note

I was having a conversation with a friend last night and he mentioned that he had been warned off being friends with me by the powers that be in his organization.   Seeing that this friends is fairly high up, I can assume who made this statement.

He was warned that because I was an "activist", I would be using him as a source for information.

A) I am not an activist.  Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Liberal or Otherwise.   I am a gadfly.

B) I have NEVER used my friends as a font of information.  I have NEVER used family as a font of information.

EVERYTHING I have ever written that is the least bit scandalous has been sourced from the MSM or from major political blogs. Or...based on being able to read a fairly obvious path (generally to destruction) that people were headed and offering conjecture on that.  Sometimes, I am correct.  Sometimes, I am dead wrong. But...

It has always been me.

So...

To those who think that I am mining my friends for anything other than friendship (or who think that I am an activist), go fuck yourselves.  You people who universally lauded Spitzer (on both sides of the aisle), who have driven this state to the verge of bankruptcy, and who are willing to deny good hard working New Yorkers their civil rights because of who they choose to love...you are the ones who have made this fucking mess.  I am just writing about it on occassion, yet, I am the bad influence...so...I say again, go fuck yourselves.

I am my own man, and almost nothing surpasses the love and respect I have for my friends.
