Tim Blair knows what he is talking about.

Tim Blair copy and pasted from a brief article in the Vail Daily today about a ski resort town in America that voted to impeach George W. Bush. He didn't actually have much to write about this event, I'm convinced that the more successful a blogger the less they actually need to write. Often Blair writes almost nothing!

As I'm quite new to this blogging thing I don't yet have the credibility to write nothing and still attract readers. That said, I read the article as well and think I can elaborate on Blair's post a tad, I hope he doesn't mind.

"Wasn't global warming meant to be the big threat to ski resorts? Turns out a greater danger is hatred of George W. Bush"
I have never heard of Telluride until Blair alerted me to it. In all fairness however I think it's well time that the term, 'ski resort' stopped being applied to any place with snow and a hill. Ski resorts are usually located in exotic locations and have little or no association with loopy councils passing meaningless motions about political issues they obviously lack the conceptual skills to grasp. A ski resort is something you will find in Europe, not amongst the yokels of hillbilly America.

I note, with some pity, that the article didn't bother explaining why the council has decided to vote that Bush be impeached. Blair didn't have the space to explain either in his one sentence post but the assumption is that they are upset with the president's war on terror. Quite possibly, though they may be just annoyed that Bush hasn't invaded more countries.

Janice commented on the article to say,

"Good. When reason doesn't work sometimes pain does."
Which is possibly true.

I have included a photograph of a man who may well be the mayor of Telluride.

Cats are useful too ok. Sheesh.

Was reading An Onymous Lefty this evening and noticed an update to his post on jumping cats. Apparently some, 'crackpot' has written a post on another blog, 'attacking' him for… hold on, he's talking about me.

I invite Jeremy to read the post again, carefully before he jumps to conclusions. I think I make some really good points.

The wife is very upset with me for attacking Jeremy, apparently she thinks he is quite witty and well informed, I didn't even know she knew how to use the computer. She reminded me during tonight's episode that if it wasn't for Jeremy I would have been taking notes on offensive behaviour while watching Big Brother instead of the quality television show Life on Mars.

Look, different strokes and all. But if I want to ever sleep in the bed next to my wife's bed again I have to bear in mind that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Anyway, all going well, I'm off to bed, I'll be posting some photos of my family in the next few days so I encourage any remaining readers out there to pop back in to find out more about me.

Also, if you arrived her via a link from An Onymous Lefty then a big hello to you and thanks for popping by. If you want to read some really riveting stuff then I suggest you make a detour for Tim Blair's insightful blog until next I post. I should be posting some praising material on Tim Blair shortly too.
