Sean G

Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Sean G.

What’s the story behind your name? Well, once upon a time I went by the amazingly cool moniker of nuclearboy. This was nod to my profession, and was, apparently, before I discovered women. As an older, more socially functional adult, it hardly seemed appropriate to be called that if I ever wanted to be taken seriously. (Mr. Interviewer–“let me see, your email is nuclearboy@aol.com… we’ll be in touch.”)
Where do you live? I’ve just moved to New Brighton, Pennsylvania. I didn’t really know what a commonwealth was, until I came here to the Keystone State–er, Commonwealth. I learned it meant that if you had any wealth, they took it away, and taxes are what we all have in common.
My best observations place the final resting place of my money in either the 6 guys standing around watching one guy fix a pot hole or in the back pockets of the socialist academia that are always hurting my kids’ education by being on strike. You know, maybe its better if he doesn’t learn curricula taught by pinko-commies.
How old are you? I was born the day that Pioneer 10 sent back the first close-up views of Jupiter.
Tell us briefly about yourself. Starting life in the frozen tundra of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I managed to grow up not sounding particularly Canadian, unless I get particularly excited, or spend too much time at home. Tired of shoveling snow, I decided the best way out of the global-warming-needing northland was to join the navy. That, and I didn’t want to work at a gas station the rest of my life.
Not content with the secret of fire, I spent 12 years 8 months and 16 days in the Silent Service of the world’s finest navy, creating heat by splitting atoms. A feat just now being achieved by the savages in Iran, despite the fact that the how-to has been in your local library since at least the 40’s. Perhaps they should consider that Allah just wants them to stay in the stone age.
Anyhow, having seen enough of the world to decide that there is no place better than the US of A, and for that matter, most places could be improved by several weeks of intense carpet bombing (hear that Frenchies?), I had not determined what I wanted to be when I grew up. However, I had eliminated submarine sailor from the list, and moved into civilian life.
A fortune 500 company now pays me to split their atoms here in Pennsylvania. My spare time is spent fixing up a 150 year old house, blogging, hunting, fishing, and making sure my son grows up to be a good American.
I still ended up shoveling snow.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Since shortly after Nuke The Moon. My Dad sent a link to it, and I’ve been reading since.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Definitely a tie between the post that got me reading IMAO: Nuke The Moon, and the more recent, but hilarious lolterizt!
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Ineluctable Perspicacious Persiflage
What’s your favorite political issue? Federalism, and the return to Constitutional governance. Our Founding Fathers, if they were around today, would be trying to lead a revolt.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. If you kindly direct your browsers to http://toomuchliberty.blogspot.com you will find a right of center oasis in the desert that is the internet. We (My Dad, a friend from work and I) started the blog last September and have been having a blast with it. We are pro-Thompson, pro-America (but I repeat myself), pro-Hippie Punchin’, and we like guns. Oh, and did I mention that we are against Monkeys? Particularly human-ape hybrids. No Humanzees!
Say something nice about Democrats. They almost always blink when hit in the head by a hammer.

If you commented in the last post asking for entrants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated thus far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.
