Revised Mission Statement (2006.02.24)

25 February, 2006. 373 words.

I originally started this blog as a response to Greg Krehbiel’s Crowhill Weblog. GK is a conservative Roman Catholic. That by itself wouldn’t be enough for me to start a public blog, but the Crowhill Weblog ranks fairly high in a Google search for “Krehbiel,” so anyone searching for information about the Krehbiel family name would find Greg Krehbiel and his blog to be one of the first ambassadors of the surname. I’m sure he’s a nice guy and all, but that didn’t feel right to me. I felt it was important to show the world that there are more moderate Krehbiels around who don’t necessarily agree with Crowhill’s outlook on the culture war.

And now that I’m into my second month here, I’ve widened my mission scope a little. I don’t just look at Crowhill anymore. Dozens and dozens of political and religious blogs now run through my news reader every day, so I have a huge selection of items to comment on. My favorite cultural topics are conservative Christian dogma, Islamic clashes, Intelligent Design, media censorship, traditional and non-traditional families, women’s roles in society, and that ever-popular standby, abortion. I might throw in something else now and then if it’s funny or interesting. But you won’t find anything about my job on here, because that could get a person fired.

This blog also serves my own twisted purposes by forcing me to write more (not to mention pay better attention to current events). I despise blogs that try to pass off a sentence and a link as a blog entry ("Look what I found"), so I strive to find items that I can opine about for a few paragraphs or more. As always, expect to find my world-famous irreverent dry wit in whatever I write.

I’ve given up trying to highlight the achievements of other Krehbiels on the Internet; that got pretty tedious in a hurry. So if you’re interested in that, I would invite you to do a Google News search for “Krehbiel.” You might also try PubSub.com, a free service which lets you search blogs.

If you are a current or potential employer deciding whether to hire or fire me based on information in this blog, shame on you.
