Hello, this is Jane Yamamoto, and I'm reporting live from the monthly 'meatspace' meeting of the L.A. Bloggers, here at the Gardena Chuck E. Cheese. I'm speaking with a blogger who goes by the name 'Lonewacko'. Hello, Lonewacko, could you please explain blogging for us?
Hello, Jane. Blogging is a type of web site where we share our deepest thoughts and feelings, and comment on the news of the day. Unlike you in television, we can only communicate using text and pictures. Speaking of pictures, I noticed that you look different from your picture on your profile page. The pony tails make you look even prettier.
Why thank you. Now, Lonewacko, how do you think blogging is changing the world?
Well, by exposing more and more people to more and more different points of view, I think we're trying to bring people around the world together. In addition, Jane, we're having a lot of fun! Speaking of fun, I like to bike, hike, and climb. I see you played on the woman's team. In golf that is. I'd probably be impressed that your handicap is 9 if only I knew anything about golf. I do however have a Ping that I'd love to show you.
What do you think of the fact that most bloggers seem to be right-wing reactionaries?
That's just the way I like it. I was also quite impressed with the "rich cultural heritage" that you bring to the news. I'm going to take that statement on its face, and I won't assume that FOX is just pandering. Your participation in the Cherry Blossom Festival phwoarrr! has been noted.
Why, thank you. Now, Lonewacko, what are you and your friends doing here?
Well, these aren't really my friends, they're just my fellow bloggers. But, anyway, we're blogging live from the Chuck E. Cheese. Say, Jane, could you humor me with a teensy request?
Perhaps.
I knew you were coming to interview me, so I, and I hope you'll forgive me for being presumptuous here, but, I, bought you this official newsbabe outfit. Do you think you could wear it? With your pony tails it'd really enliven the local news.
I'll consider it. Thank you for your time, Mr. Lonewacko. Now, back to John and Christine.
