A’BLOGGING WE SHALL GO

FEBRUARY 15TH- We were amused by a Churchill-derived comment describing the new digital activity known as “blogging” (personal web logs) and Internet chatrooms: “Never have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.” However, some bloggers have interesting angles.

Take for example “Amazing Ben” (www.badassoftheweek.com): a 28-year-old college administrator, whose style is, well, different.

Churchill, Ben says, was known “for his unyielding tenaciousness and his awesome ability to train killer attack hounds to run up and bite Fascists in the jugular when they weren’t looking…one of the most badass world leaders of the modern era. This dude was a totally righteous asskicker who enjoyed puffing on Cuban cigars, shooting guns, drinking copious amounts of booze, and kicking Nazis in the ___ ___ with a size 10 steel-toed boot, and he didn’t give a crap about anything that didn’t further his goal of accomplishing one of those four tasks. He fought hard, partied hard, wore a lot of totally awesome suits, and pretty much always looked like he’d just stepped out of a badass 1930s pulp fiction detective story.”

We linked this on our website. We were going to reprint Ben’s essay, but we are not so badass. However, we welcome the use of profanity in Churchill’s favor for a change.

A tribute, join us
