Doin’ Time in Erie, PA

by JHSEsq on January 26, 2008

This is the first blog review that we have done with­out a clue of who the author is, other than the title, Doin’ Time in Erie, PA, so we know what state she is from. The lay­out of this blog is almost non-existent. If she were not nom­i­nated we might not have even both­ered to read a post. But she was nom­i­nated, and the post is very good. It is about pol­i­tics in this elec­tion year and is called Inspir­itu. The ques­tion she addresses is that she is often asked about which per­son run­ning for pres­i­dent inspires her. She is not sure that we should be look­ing for inspiration.
She writes, “Some peo­ple like Mitt Romney’s man­age­r­ial record but say he doesn’t inspire them like Mike Huck­abee does. Con­versely, peo­ple who are inspired by Mike Huck­abee are con­cerned about his abil­ity to lead. The same goes for Hilary Clin­ton and Barack Obama, inspired by one and not the other but con­cerned of capa­bil­i­ties. And John McCain, bad-ass inspir­ing story to be sure, but does that nec­es­sar­ily trans­late to the per­son?” It is an inter­est­ing and unique per­spec­tive. It is a good read. Con­grat­u­la­tions, what­ever your name is, you have writ­ten The Ris­ing Blog­ger Post of the Day!

You wouldn’t believe how many peo­ple assume I’m a prison inmate! I guess being satir­i­cal has it’s price. Anyhoo-it’s me, no-name blog­ger doin’ what feels like a sen­tence in Erie, Pa. Not to belit­tle Erie, it’s just that my heart’s home is else­where. I’m a 30-something grad stu­dent and finance pro­fes­sional here by way of Maine, by way of Mary­land, by way of North­ern Michi­gan, by way of Detroit. I remain anony­mous to pro­tect the inno­cent because the most impor­tant thing you ever need to know about Erie is that six-degrees of sep­a­ra­tion is really more like 1.5.

I don’t read a lot of polit­i­cal blog posts because many are of the “one” issue type men­tioned by this writer. This was a well bal­anced post though and I enjoyed it. Sounds like they have their head screwed on right.

Sorry, but comments are no longer being accepted on this entry.
