I just had to, on the off chance that someone who might appreciate this isn't on the LJ poly community:

Maybe I'm behind the times here, but I just found this guy who appears to be a singer/songwriter with a political commentary using humor. My favorite kind.

His name is Roy Zimmerman and his music is available on iTunes and his website is http://www.royzimmerman.com/

I wish IMs translated condescension better.  I'm really good at being condescending, but I think it loses a little something without the arrogant baby-talk tone of voice.  Anyway, be amused:

nyctoscottsdale:  hello
joreth:  hi
nyctoscottsdale:  damn you are in good shape
joreth:  did you read my profile?
nyctoscottsdale:  yes
joreth:  and that's the line you choose to open with?
joreth:  is your reading comprehension not very
good?
joreth:  because if you have some sort of learning
disorder, I can alter my speech to accomodate

No further response.

I was just talking to someone in the SCA who faces some of the same issues with the media that polyamorists do.  We discussed how to handle the media and I mentioned the advice of making "soundbites" ... short and simple sentences that are not easy to take out of context.  The advice from the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom recommends that anyone interested in being a media contact for any particular category have a handful of these soundbites at your disposal and input them into interviews, even if the question doesn't match your answer.  The point is to have your own agenda for the message you want to present and not get caught in a trap of answering irrelevant or offensive questions.

So, with that discussion fresh in my mind, I came across one of the most beautifully written "soundbites" that encompasses a whole rant's worth of words.
