A War Against Pat Robertson

I’m in 1842 (and have been every day this week), reading Paul William Roberts’s book, “A War Against Truth.” It’s about Iraq and the U.S. invasion, war, and subsequent failures. Roberts is a Canadian journalist who has been covering the Middle East for over 30 years, and who was in Iraq when the U.S. started bombing. He watched his friends die, and he watched how the American media went, embedded with the U.S. troops, off the edge of objectivity, covering only what the government wanted them to.
He constantly points out the growing insanity with Americans, with American imperialism, and the lies and hate spread by the U.S. Which brings us to Pat Robertson. Isn’t it illegal to openly call for the assasination of another individual? Does he think that this is a way for America to spread democracy? By killing the democratically elected president of another nation? Does it worry anyone that this man has hundreds of thousands of followers? The only threat that Venezuela poses to the U.S. is the loss of a few barrels of oil, and that would harm themselves much more.
I don’t know. With this book and all the recent events, things just aren’t looking up for U.S. opinion.
I think someone should make a public call for giving Pat Robertson a wedgie. I’d say “assasination,” but I’m not a monster.

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.
