Hello all, my name is Curtis and I’m one of the g-unit bloggers. You might be wondering what ‘granola unit’ or ‘g-unit’ means... I honestly don’t know. Personally I voted for the title: Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi -- but you can’t win ‘em all.
Now I will freely admit that I was inspired to get involved in the Canadian political scene by an American -- Barack Obama -- but one of my goals is to keep my Obama references to a minimum in this blog. I often find, even for an Obama devotee like myself, that good blogs can really degenerate into an Obama lovefest if they aren’t careful. What he’s done is truly amazing but the world doesn’t need to hear your thoughts on every little thing he does.
A good example of this is the formerly readable blog Large Dead Lizards. This is a blog that every now and then used to contain some pretty good insights into the Canadian political scene that has really just become an Obama lovefest. Like I said, I love the guy but the mainstream media gives him enough coverage in my opinion. Case in point, on October 4th LDL had 4 posts about Obama and a search for the word Obama on their front page delivered 22 matches. 22! Come on people, there is more to the world than The One!
Honestly, I prefer to read about someone’s UFC picks (especially when I know my picks are better: Go Silva!) rather than how much you love ObamaCare because Americans will finally be getting the good health care us canucks have had for 800 years (actually, I’m not a student of history so that number may be off by a little).
In fact most Canadians don’t seem to realize that Obama doesn’t even necesarily want a public health care system... but that’s too much Obama for now. I’m going to sign off.
puh-puh-puh-puh pokerface! err.... I mean, guh-guh-guh geeee-uuuunit!
