Just who *are* the Blogospherians?
The Pajama Jihadists

The Bunny Slipper Brigade

Keyboard Kon-key-sta-dores

All very funny

All very wrong

Moms and dads

Sons and daughters

Cops and joggers

Lawyers and model train enthusiasts

Square dancers and factory shift workers

Waitresses and Civil War reenactors

Consultants and Accountants

Software engineers and Sanitation engineers

Young and old, short and tall, man and woman, gay and straight

Catholic and Muslim, Jew and Espicopalian, Baptist and Unitarian

Atheist, secularist, pragmatist, environmentalist, artist, chemist, manicurist

Peacenick and hawk

And so much more.

We are America. We live on Main Street. We canvass, we donate, we piss and we moan.

We support and detract. We look for truth and we spread it.

We're not fringe.

We use the Internet to engage, to discuss, to learn, to organize, to plan, to promote, to build and tear down, to encourage and discourage.

We do exactly what we did in the Asphaltosphere and the Concreteosphere.

We just do it better and faster and more targeted and with more like minded people than we ever would have in those other o'spheres.

We're not fringe. We're just smarter early adopters.

1. In my pjs right now.
I'm just saying - if the slipper fits, embrace it.

We are america, we are the world, we blog in our pjs or from our cubes (and hopefully not in our pjs from our cubes, but perhaps that too.)

4. We are the tubies. We lurk in the tubes of the internets to sneak into
unsuspecting states and reek havoc on their elections.

5. blogosphere: my definition
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 12:23 AM by welshTerrier2
blog-os-phere: noun ... an irrational fear held by out-of-touch politicians, pseudo "mainstream" journalists and other members of the establishment that unseen, unknown, groups of people who talk about stuff on computers are out to get them more than people who don't talk about stuff on computers are out to get them ...

At great personal danger and impending peril,
our intrepid DU photographer captured this close-up:

8. I call Bullshit!
That first picture is not of blogospherians ...... That's a picture of Sparkly and me that we uploaded to the website "wivesandloversandothers.com" We posted in the 'others' section. :)

7. Hell some of them are even Republicans!
:scared:

Who doesn't have a blog these days? Almost every single cable TV journalist does. It's a pretty bogus attack.
