Why, what, when, where, who, and how

I am not sure why I named this first entry after the five W's or something like that. The origins of this blog are quite simple. After debating with a sibling who normally gets the best of me in arguments (getting under my skin in the process) I found that I was continually thinking of better composed retorts through the online medium. I also found that there seemed to be a new sort of civility that had never been present in our "discussions". Don't get me wrong we are oil and water about just about everything. Not sure if it is my aggitative (new word?) personality or if it is a strong desire to open eyes to the opinions of the other side.

I will say that most people cannot or refuse to believe the same way I do which is completely and totally awesome. While awesome it still makes them wrong. There seems to be such a polarity in America today when it comes to everything from politics to butter side up/down. You say you are affiliated with one thing and it instantly indicates everything about a person. For instance a person who is white, attends a Baptist Church, has a few kids, a office job and stable marriage is going to automatically enjoy a good joke mocking the current presidential administration. Whereas a single male with tight pants, an Ipod chocked full of musicals, sitting in a Starbucks sipping something that has more than 3 adjectives still has a "Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot" on his ride.

So....IF you have made it this far through my sleeplessness induced ramblings I will explain a couple of things.

First why "Index Finger of Truth". I have never been good at debating. Rather terrible at it to say the least. Could it be that I have an Irish disposition? Yes. Could it be that I have a tendency of raising my right index finger to indicate the end of an argument? Yes.

Second ground rules:
1. Congratulations Speak & Spell. I have no time for proper grammar and spelling. I will tell you like I told my Lit teacher "If I cared I would have" (referring to a project). Don't waste yours or my time telling me I can't spell and I have bad punctuation. If writing was my profession I might start to give deuce. It is not a sign of stupidity.

2. No one is Immune. Just when you think that I am on your side about anything I will strike. The world wide web is full of such useful (and crap) information that someone some where has a video of the man/woman of your dreams with egg on their face.
3. It's my blog so... I kinda will tell you like it is even if I agree with you. Sometimes its better to just be quite, this is my outlet. I will not be held liable for any bruised egos, stubbed toes, joke butts, or whatever you call having your inner child goaded.
4. (NR). This means "Not Researched". I will do my best to attribute where I can when I can but if it is from my lame memory or I am being lazy I will indicate it with an (NR).

So let the fun begin.
