This blog is dedicated to the general suckness of our time. Chuck Colson calls us the "New Barbarians," meaning that although we dress well, eat well, exercise, drive nice cars, and generally clean up well, inside we are really, truly Barbarians. For once Chuckie and I agree.
I hope that in exploring the Barbarian in our society, I can vent on why it is exactly that so many people suck and apparently enjoy sucking. After reading this you may want to embrace your suckness and elbow your way headlong through life. On the other hand, you may come away with a longing for "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Mayberry RFD" reruns of life in a simpler time with simple answers to the deep questions.
No matter. I'm told that you could even make money blogging away at what you know best. I know sucky people and deal with them on a day to day basis. I wonder if making money on other people's suckness is even appropriate. It might be double suckness....exploiting suckness. Is it wrong to have a desperate longing for suckness that leads to success? Could the longing for financial success from the exploration of suckness cause me to embrace my inner Barbarian and plunge into a deeper and fuller suck?
Ah well, I'll first focus on writing that doesn't suck! See you soon with some case studies.

It really sucks if you intend on making money on this topic.
The person who suggested that you suck for trying to make a buck by observing what other people really suck, sucks! Good stuff, Blawgerman. As a fellow member of the legal profession, I applaud your observational powers and recognition that the worst part about being a lawyer is having to deal with lawyers all day. Why shouldn't you be rewarded for your insight and literary powers?!
