Fresh Blood Wanted

June 29th, 2008 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

If you’re a blogger, or a blogreader who wants to become a blogger, and willing to write for PoliGazette – a place where people of all stripes come together – contact me. We’re looking for fresh blood.

Don’t hesitate; we’ll be glad to have you join the team. We’re an ambitious bunch, hoping to turn PoliGazette into one of the internationally leading news and opinion websites (although with an emphasis on the US).

In the coming weeks we hope to add a significant option to PoliGazette, the website. More about that later; for now, it’s a surprise.

But, if things work out, it will be quite cool and greatly enhance the ability for readers to participate in the political debate and to interact with each other… and our bloggers.

    Fresh blood? Without other precision?
    If this proposition valid for socialists, or only for the conservatives and the centrists?

    Why an emphasis on the US? Both you and Claudia are European…

    I think it’s because Michael is an American studies student.

    Careful, Michael, I might take you up on that. ;)

    Or at least I would, if I was younger and didn’t have a family. And a more studious person.

  8. Isil; we need blood. Lots of it. I’ve been on a diet for the last four months, so I’m constantly hungry; instead of food, I drink blood. It works miracles!

    A.A.B.: Michael Merritt answer that question ;) It’s my specialty

  9. Lucrece: good question. This is the guideline; moderates and centrists are welcome, but we want to have more; moderately liberals and moderately conservatives are also more than welcome. Socialists are – albeit in a European sense so less radical than most Americans think when they hear the word – a bit far to the left. Above all, one has to respect others, who hold different opinions. True ideologues – whether they are socialist, or michelle malkin etc. – can’t.

    A bit far to the left? Really? Why am I not surprised? ;-)

    Respect others? Certainly:

    "What do you want, we must still getting used to treat everyone fairly. When peoples oppose, I say convictions against convictions, yes, but sectarianism against sectarianism, no. (Qu’est-ce que vous voulez, il faut quand même s’habituer à traiter chacun avec équité. Quand les gens s’opposent, moi je dis convictions contre convictions oui, mais sectarisme contre sectarisme, non.)"
    François Mitterrand, TV interview, September 17, 1987.
