I am always amused when my blog makes “news” – and the reporters don’t even bother to call me but just quote the blog itself. But I was a bit surprised that Pat Simms got wrath out of yesterday’s blog post.
I kind of got stuck on the alleged “wrath”, which according to dictionary.com is
1. strong, stern, or fierce anger; deeply resentful indignation; ire.
2. vengeance or punishment as the consequence of anger.
Since she never talked to me, I’m not sure how she got that. Did you read that in the blog post? Concern, amusement, interest, and a bit of snark, maybe, but wrath? It takes a little more than an email with some uniformed comments in it to spark my wrath. And sadly, the post had more to do with correcting some misinformation and questioning if we needed more money for community services. But none of that made the press.
WIBA got it a little more accurate. It’s more of a “concern” but with them it always amuses me that they talk about me, but rarely to me. I’ll be curious to see how many of their listeners actually click the link and read my blog.
I am even more amused that story then makes it to the “right’s answer to the Southern Poverty Law Center”. Now that’s just scary. Who do you think fed it to them?
