To My Readers, All Five of Them

Apparently, I have five confirmed readers…

…including two in-laws, my wife (if I “reminder” her), one excellent attorney, and a local radio talk show host. It does not include the snarky folks who read only the headline on Facebook, fire out a response thereto and thereon, but never make it to the blog and the content.

Yep. Thanks for reading. You’re feedback, and dissent, is always appreciated (and enjoyed).

“And I love you, random citizen!”

    I read your blog, but I’m worried about what category you would place me in . . .

    Oh, and I love your use of the newly-minted verb “reminder.” And, no, I’m not being snarky. I use it all the time.

  5. I’m offended. You forgot your little sis in Erie PA. Thanks to you, I know whats going on in the political world.

    I have no excuse for my general snarkiness. 😉
    Congrats on making “Tweet of the Day” on SLTrib Political Cornflakes.

    • Snark is always welcome…but I wasn’t referring to you. Welcome to the blog, cuz.

      As for Tweet of the Day…geez. I’m all flustered.

  7. Just curious. How do you become a “confirmed reader” I want to be one. I follow you through my firefox blog reader.

  8. Confirmed. 5 is more than the 3 I had.
