In light of recent events, I have decided I must fully disclose my biases, sources of income, and other relevant material before I post any more diaries. In that spirit I declare, on a stack of Meteor Blade's diaries, that:
I do not gain any financial remuneration for posting on Daily Kos. Further, I am a male, heterosexual, Atheist, liberal democrat who supports women' rights (reproductive and otherwise), universal health care, and pretty much all of the policies championed by the denizen's of this site.
Update 1
Upon further reflection, and the suggestions by some in this community, I feel I must qualify my previous full disclosure. As a government employee, and an educator, my advocacy for higher education spending and other progressive causes could, if adopted by the majority, lead to direct gains in terms of my salary. I apologize for my previous lack of candor.
Update 2
I have been urged further disclose that I am posting this diary while using government resources (my computer), as I am currently using my computer at work.
Update 3
The HR department has asked that I disclose that nothing I have written represents the views of the national, state, or local government for which I work. They have also informed me that I am not allowed to post on Daily Kos from the office.
Update 4
One commenter has questioned whether I am truly heterosexual, as he distinctly remembers me flirting with him at a party about 9 years ago. He is correct in that. In the interest of full disclosure, I have had dreams about having sex with men, and have seen some men that...well you know that picture of Obama from Hawaii. As for the particular incident of flirting, I fully disclose that I did flirt with him but: 1) I was not having much luck with the ladies at the time, and 2) I was drunk. I figured, men were more slutty than women and would be easier to get in the sack.
Update 5
In the interest of full disclosure, I am allergic to hops--so I cannot drink beer without vomiting. For this reason I really never started drinking and don't drink to this day. I was completely sober when I flirted with the above mentioned male commenter. When I was younger, people seemed to think my lack of drinking meant I was a Mormon, but I have noticed that lately people assume I am a recovering alcoholic.
Update 6
My wife has pointed out that my previous use of the term 'ladies' and 'sluts' was sexist. Furthermore, she claims that I objectify women. Specifically, she noted that I once said that Cindy McCain was kinda hot. I have since apologized to my wife for this comment and accepted that Cindy McCain is not hot, but rather looks, to use my wife's term, like a "fembot."
Update 7
I must disclose that sexy robots kinda turn my crank. I am particularly turned on by the Metropolis robot, but I am pretty much excited by any chromed out, airbrushed, large breasted robots.
Update 8
I feel that I should rewrite my disclosure given the above info.
Other than my salary, computer I write upon, and benefits, I gain no potential material benefits from posting on the Daily Kos. Further, I am a male, mostly heterosexual (except when I am not having much luck with 'women'), Atheist, liberal democrat who objectifies republican women while supporting women' rights, universal health care, and pretty much all of the policies championed by the denizen's of this site. Oh yeah, and sexy robots turn my crank.
