i just got back from a 6-minute segment for FOX NEWS (yeah, the national affiliate), and i’m at home w/ tons of trampish makeup on (see left), sipping a glass of white wine. as far as i can tell, the whole thing went well. i talked really fast, i had some long-winded answers, and my “opponent” kept cutting me off. details? it was mostly a blur, so i’ll have to watch the segment and reconstruct some memories for myself too. we’ll see for sure this weekend if it went as not bad as i thought.

if you were wondering, the topic was liberal bias in academia. i was the token liberal.

the show i did was w/ larry elder, a somewhat well-known libertarian turned republican, and the guy i went up against was the spokesman for YAF, the young america’s foundation, the “principal outreach organization of the Conservative Movement.” let’s think about this for a second: trained spokesman for right-wing group vs. second-rate blogger. i’m pretty sure i talked more than he did, so in the cable news world, i think that means i win.

i have no idea when this thing will actually air, but all i hope is that i look hot. and smart.

when i find out more, i’ll let this blog know, and i’ll also post the youtube-alicious clip when i have it. this guy has a facebook group that says they love him. do you love me?

i was just doing my normal rounds of media watching, when i stumble upon myself. on fark!

as of 2:40am, there are 66 comments, and i can only hope and dream and pray for more just like the one from enderx.
although this farker unfortunately doesn’t know it’s easier to “quash” a party than “squash” one — this is still the most excellent news of the day. i knew this seattle university story was a winner.

UPDATE (10:30am): fark doesn’t love me. because someone had posted the same story earlier, they took mine down. if you want to know what that one commenter said, you can ask me to assuage my vanity, but i’m pretty much broken and beaten right now.

i have at least one devotee (check out the 3rd comment down). that’s both flattering and creepy. asian fetish?

update (5/28/08 5:30pm): is this him? a cpa from australia?

building the brand.
