I'm the kind of a guy who doesn't have a lot of interests. I like a few things a lot and one of them is technology and Apple stuff when another is politics and I could have just as easily gone the route that you did.

Instead, I thought politics would be just a little easier.

Well, you know that I almost, I might have even used the name Daring Fireball for it, but when I was like, I should have a blog, I could do this.

I've said this many times, but I have considered making the focus politics rather than Apple slash technology

slash design or and or having two blogs one right about the stuff everybody

knows me for it during fireball and one where I dedicate to politics.

I mean, because for obvious reasons of all the possible things you could mash together into one website, the one that doesn't really go with

anything else is politics, right? I mean... Exactly. No, I think that's why you have to stay on

topic, and that's what you have to stay on topic.

And that's what works on the internet is staying on topic.

I think that that's what makes political wire appealing to people

is that I do not deviate from politics.

And what was interesting is when I first started the site

way back when, I wrote the pros and cons.

It was actually on a piece of yellow legal pad, which is tells you how old I am right but I

wrote on each side and the only con I could think of to starting a site like this

was politics might get boring and anyway that did not happen John.

introduction. Tagan Goudard, welcome to the talk show. And you are the proprietor publisher and blogger writer at political wire

which is political wire dot com which are easily what you're best known for I

would say political wire and taking
