Rare welcome to a red-blooded conservative
By Rick Santorum
'Odd." It is, indeed, odd to write a column every other Thursday for a paper that used that very word to describe me. Actually, odd was one of the nicer terms used in The Inquirer to describe me. Imagine these words next to your name in your high school yearbook - disingenuous, snake oil peddler, smug, arrogant, chicken-livered, intolerant and fatalistic. And most of those labels were in news stories.
My new employer also claimed not so long ago that I "inspire contempt" and "have lost my mind" and that my actions bore a remarkable resemblance to Joe McCarthy's. You know? The namesake of McCarthyism. At the time, I took solace from the implied compliment. At least The Inquirer thought I was making a substantial mark on my generation. Not bad for someone they also called a "doofus."

One has to wonder how many people dropped their subscriptions to the Inkwaster when they signed him on?
Oddly enough, a recent article showed that the Inky's circulation had gone up a few percent.
Hmmm,..funny what happens when you put some opposing POVs into a paper!
Yeah. Maybe I should let some of those folks from the Huffington Post on my blog.
Nahhh, they would just eat all my chips and wreck the place.
