Life List #82: Write More About Politics

“Follow your passion, and success will follow you.”  ~Terri Guillemets

I’d say that I’m doing this due to popular demand but I’m not really that popular. Regardless I have started a new venture(!!); Poliogue.com where I will discuss politics in my normal irreverent/having a conversation with my friends type fashion. I feel that politics and politicians should be accessible or at least give the illusion as such. I think what makes people feel so disconnected from what is going on in the political process is that everything on blogs or newspapers is either dumbed down or is written in such a way that it’s almost too inside baseball with polling results and to the point where one would need to know the entire career of whomever is being talked about. How about a happy medium? How about writing in such a way where you’d be speaking with your girlfriends or at a dinner party casually about what is going on in this country? And that’s where Poliogue comes in. I want it to be that space where you can discuss without feeling as if you’re about to go into battle with Charlie Cook and Bob Schieffer. It’s all me talking to you about politics in my normal No Pasa Nada fashion. I might even say ‘fuck’ once in awhile. There will be interviews and podcasts and the occasional vlog (ewww, that word sucks but, hey, what can you do?) post all in the name of bringing you politics in a fun and approachable fashion. Sound good? I hope you enjoy because I’m excited already and it’s been less than 24 hours.

Another huge thanks to Dawn Blanchfield and Sweet BlogDesign for being magical people who get shit done. Love it.
