Debate on the Internet: Was W wired?

An image that flew around the Internet last week showing a boxy bulge in the back of President George W. Bush’s suit jacket during the Sept. 30 presidential debate in Miami has led to widespread cyber-speculation that he was wired to receive help with his answers.
Bush’s aides tried to laugh off the controversy, with one official joking about “little green men on the grassy knoll.”
Several officials, pressed for a serious answer, flatly denied that anything was fishy about the hump.
They said they’d checked and that there was nothing under Bush’s jacket �€” not a wire, not a transmitter, not a garage door opener.
Bush was not wearing a protective vest, sources said.
The White House refused to provide an on-the-record comment, saying such remarks would dignify a baseless issue, and referred questions to the Bush-Cheney campaign.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
