Seriously, she will take your baby!
Well, sorry I’ve been absent folks, but I needed to concentrate on my other websites.
That’s right, we launched The West Virginia Examiner last Wednesday. It includes the best in investigative reporting in the state, plus original investigations written by myself.
So far it’s getting modest, but positive, attention. I’ve already posted an in depth look at the state budget and a sneak peak at 2010 campaign fundraising by West Virginia’s Congress members.
On top of that, I’m now posting punditry at West Virginia Red. WV Red has collected the best in conservative writing in the state…and invited me as well.
But before I came back to my lovely blog, I wanted to do two things:
A) I wanted to find another template with three columns, then add widgets like Obama adds more digits to the national debt.
B) I wanted to create a separate biography site, which I did at Steven Allen Adams.
One of the things I learned at my investigative journalism training conference was to protect my online identity. The best way to do that, I was told, was to take control of my name. So anything that had a holywriter or a unsilentmajority screenname I did away with. There were somethings I couldn’t change, but most changed over with little trouble. I even changed e-mails for the first time since 2004 probably. The bio site has a detailed look at my journalism career, links to some of my favorite articles, and links to everything I’m a part of.
Everything has been consolidated using either Steven Allen Adams or stevenadamswv.
It’s very liberating to not be hiding behind pseudonyms. It’s nice to have a boss that encourages my blogging, as opposed to a publisher that pays more attention to your blog than he does the newspaper you write for.
And Lord knows there is plenty to opine about. Take the lady pictured above…please!
If you happen to meet her via Craigslist and she invites you to Oregon and you happen to be pregnant…RUN!!!
Very beautiful, what a shame.
Craigslist, of course, is synonymous with crazy people who murder and rape. They bonded by talking about baby clothes, one thing led to another, and she invited the pregnant Snively to Oregon.
She then killed Snively, removed the fetus, and stuffed Snively in a crawlspace. 911 was called to try to save the baby. The baby was taken to the hospital, but needless to say these medical professionals pretty much knew instantly that something didn’t seem right, so they sent cops back to Roberts’ house.
From there it was simply a case of following the trail of blood.
They found Snively, and then charged Roberts with murder.
I think this could have all been remedied by exchanging pics. If I had been Snively and seen a pic of Roberts’ eyes…no frigging way.
This is seriously a sad story, especially since Snively was kind of cute.
