An old web hippy gets cranky

Does this crap make any sense at all?
Alt Hed: Fred Thompson to Dallas & staff doesn’t allow entire world immediate access.
Coverage of my coverage of Fred Thompson’s campaign stop here in Dallas was picked up by Pegasus News in a piece titled, “Possible presidential candidate Fred Thompson comes to town; Staff stiff-arms bloggers.” It was followed by a quick mention on MSNBC and by local talk show hosts this morning. Michael Davis from the Dallas Progress picked up the story as well in a post titled, “Fred Thompson Campaign Blows off Blogger.” The only photo (blurry and seen below) of mine they are using is of the ‘guy who wouldn’t let me in’. In Mike Orren’s piece he shows the photo with the capition, “What? You one of them blawgers? From the Interwebgs? How many tubes you usin’ boy?” You can Digg the story here.
Only if you’re a dork, interested in the reporting of the reporting of the reporting of the news. Not that there’s any news to report here, no matter how much the 2.2 Social Web might like to think there is.
Muse is A Muse, which is how he knows where the private jet area is, and how he’s allowed into it. Random Internet Dude wouldn’t get through the door, and neither would you, you dang hayseed. Seriously, though, the saddest part is the Digg link.

It isn’t a campaign stop, because he isn’t running for anything.
Just like this one my blog, these nuts live in their own universe, and they are the center of it.

The irony is that you are reporting on the ‘reporting of the reporting of the reporting of the news.’

There’s no irony, because I’m nobody. I’d have to actually be reporting TO somebody for it to be ironic.

LOL, I suspect you are ‘reporting’ to more people than I ‘report’ to… Who said I was reporting anyway?

C’mon, now…you’re Alexander Muse. Let’s be realistic here.
