I knocked around the internet trying to find my niche and started out by exposing the anti-war protesters, mainly the military folks who lied about their service to get media attention. <\/p>\n<p>I met TSO at the Iraq Veterans Against the War Winter Soldiers performance art series where we chuckled through the testimony. I brought him to the blog soon after. IVAW kind of petered out after we shined the light of Truth on the organization and it&#8217;s membership, so then we kind of switched over to finding general phonies as a sideline to commentary on military matters.<\/p>\n<p>These days we spend more time talking with lawyers than we spend writing stuff, but the fun never ends. Last year we had over 3.8 million unique visitors my first year as a full-time blogger. There are now countless folks who do what we used to do by ourselves in regards to Stolen Valor. However, I don&#8217;t see the phonies going the way of the communists at IVAW, though. More phonies are ending up in court because of their bad behavior, so that&#8217;s always good.<\/p>\n<p>Folks are always asking me about my health, so I&#8217;ll tell you that things are the same now as they were last year &#8211; you know, the year that I beat the DRC&#8217;s death clock. Unfortunately for them, I&#8217;m probably going to outlast all of them, despite their predictions. The quality of my life will be a lot better, too, mostly thanks to the VA coming through for me in most instances.<\/p>\n<p>My birthday gift will come out of the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.statebarcourt.ca.gov\/calendar\/detailview.aspx?y=15&#038;id=12540\">California Bar Association<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nine years ago this day, I was put in a time out at the Conservative forum, &hellip; <a title=\"Nine years of This Ain&#8217;t Hell\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61951\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Nine years of This Ain&#8217;t Hell<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
