Cocaine, Pot, Alcohol: Bush friend regrets releasing secret tapes

The Bush family friend and author who surreptitiously taped nine hours of conversations with George W. Bush insisted yesterday that he hadn’t released their contents simply to promote his new book on the U.S. President.
“I didn’t do it for the money,” Doug Wead said yesterday. “I could sell the tapes, even now, for tremendous amounts of money.”
In fact, Mr. Wead said he regrets having made public the tapes, in which Mr. Bush appears to admit using marijuana and talks about how he intends to skate around questions on possible cocaine use.

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.
