How Blogger Got A Job

Many people have read the ramblings on this blog, seen the recent post announcing my new position as a defender of the oppressed, and asked themselves, "How in the world could someone like blogger be hired for such a position?"

How indeed?

Well, I'll tell you.

Tolerance.

You see, when I walked into that interview with the two attorneys sent to investigate me and they quickly informed me that they were Democrats I knew that there was really only one way to get the job.

Tolerance.

So I pointed to the great diversity that I could bring to their office. I appealed to their benevolent hearts about what a fine liberal thing it would be for them to hire someone of a different political persuasion - an even greater act of tolerance than Pat Robertson hiring a homosexual, for example. I pointed out that my qualifications for the job were absolutely not up to their view of competent and that logically they should put their own personal prejudices aside (regarding experience, law school attendance, undergrad, grades, silly stuff like that) and hire me out of the goodness of their fine liberal hearts.

Presto! I am now the Republican Attorney in the Madera Office of John A Barker and Associates.

You may feel free to use my technique without creditation at any interviews you have with Democrats. I am not in this for the glory.

Next post. Why would Blogger leave the safe, serene security of Salem and the three day work weeks (long days, but who is counting) for the competitive, competive, world of criminal defense? Is it because he just wanted to be a part of the most respected class of lawyers in the eyes of average Oregonians (California Criminal Defense Trial Attorney)?

The next blog entry will lay it all out for you.
