About Joel Rosenberg

February 25, 2009 By Mark Draughn 5 Comments

Joel Rosenberg has been a co-blogger here on Windypundit for a few months, so I think it’s time to give him an “About” page. I asked him if he wanted to write it, but he told me to write it myself. So I did.

Actually, the page is not so much about Joel as it is about my attempt to write something about Joel. I’ve managed to turn his “About” page into yet another post about me. I think he deserves that for being too lazy to write it himself.

Anyway, here it is, the “About Joel Rosenberg” page [revised 2013]. I’ll put the link in the sidebar when I’ve heard what Joel has to say about it’s accuracy…especially about those years he spent in Afghanistan smuggling heroin and guns for the mujahideen. (Just making sure he reads it.)

    Well, that’s pretty much guaranteed to do make me read it, at that.

    You do know that conflating me with Joel C. was pretty much guaranteed to turn my blood pressure up to BloodSpurtsOutTheEars, don’t you?

    Heh.

    Nah, really, I didn’t. I pretty much stopped reading his stuff as soon as I figured out I was making a mistake. For all I knew, he was your favorite cousin or something.

    From a second glance, it looks like some sort of Muslims-are-coming alarmism combined with end-of-days nonsense.

    Get a lot of his fan mail, do you?

    Oh: the accuracy is fine.

    And we apparently do get each others’ fan mail from time to time. And unfan mail; I got a very hostile email, the other day, from somebody irritated with me using “joelrosenberg” as my name on twitter, from one of his fans. (I don’t blame the guy, mind you; not his fault.)

    Hey, if I start contributing again, will you write my about page, too?

    Well, Sure!

    It looks like you haven’t posted anything since last July. You write well and your television commentary gets a lot of attention. It would be great to have you back.

    Maybe we could do some video blogging.
