First of all: Oh my gosh!  Jay McCarthy commented on my blog instead of writing his own blog post about it!  (He&#039;s a big proponent for people having their own blogs so they can interact with other bloggers that way instead of commenting on other people&#039;s blogs.)

Oh.  I get it. ha ha ha

Sarcasm/humor in the blog environment (and trying to get it to work).  I wondered if you were trying to crack a joke in cyberspace.  I&#039;m a little edgy &#039;cause I really don&#039;t want people to think I&#039;m for one candidate over another on my blog &#039;cause I really am trying to be mysterious about who I&#039;m supporting and honest in my reports about campaign events.  And I wrote that post with a slight touch of sarcasm that never comes through on my blog.  &lt;sigh&gt;  I&#039;ve got to work on that.

I am enjoying reading how people interpret my reports, though.  I wonder how many of them are projecting their own preferences onto what they&#039;re reading.  I haven&#039;t read any of Gephardt&#039;s people saying I support him or Lieberman people saying I&#039;m all for Joe.  We&#039;ll see what happens.</description>

I was *trying* to be funny by saying you were supporting a particular candidate when you specifically said you weren&#039;t. I guess it didn&#039;t work.</description>
