Greetings!
I was interviewed recently by a journalist at a major publication. It went okay, I think, but I won't be doing that again. Intense. Very intense. I told him, "The tea-party movement is a mixed bag, so to speak," and "As American citizens, we're all shareholders in the business of government," and, finally, "We're living in a 'sound-bite society' that makes it difficult to have civil discourse," or something along those lines. Like I said, a decent interview, but I certainly don't plan to do that again.
I want to make it clear, of course, that I had nothing bad to say about Rand Paul. Nothing. But I'm quite fearful that I'll be misquoted. My message to Rand Paul supporters is this: carry a digital audio recorder with you at all times, in your front pocket, and be sure to turn it on when you're interviewed. (That's why I rarely wear T-shirts these days!) Better yet, avoid interviews entirely. The guy who interviewed me seemed fair and nice enough, but not all interviewers are this way. And you might not be able to tell, at first, if your interlocutor has an agenda antithetical to yours. Anyway, I'll link you guys to the article when it's available. I kinda hope I'm not in it, though. Good thing I'm bland, I guess.
Well, back to lunch. And don't forget to vote for Rand Paul in November! It's just around the corner...
In Liberty,
Joss
