I am grateful to be a part of the Orange Juice Blog for many reasons – the first of which, it is not a vanilla blog or a blog beset with the inherent conflicts of interest financial dealings create. This blogger has always made his choices known in order to be free of the pseudo-intellectual veneer of “objectivity”.
I have also discovered that friends in Politics are few – as are ethics in most cases. I have decided however, that my status as a Republican is based on my personal values – not the behavior of others.
In installment 2 – you’ll learn that at the Meg County Blog, values based on personal conviction are not the case – they delete posts they disagree with. In one instance – this blogger put up a fake post on Chip Hanlon’s behalf to attempt to drive traffic to the website as a gag.
Ultimately, what did me in was Mr. Hanlon’s constant griping about advertising – it was all about the money.
Coming soon in installment three is the first part of the story never told in writing in my words - and to be truthful, I waited to tell my story even as several media outlets blogged about my ouster – as I was convinced that the other shoe would drop. Thanks to the Orange Juice Blog doing some investigation – it was a $20,000 shoe indeed.
Wait, York… is THIS installment 2, or a teaser for installment 2? Not getting it…
Oh OK never mind… we are supposed to click and read the post on YOUR blog. So you’re not actually blogging here.
