What's in a Name

Why name this blog, the Common Pundit? Let’s break it down for those that are clueless and delve into what it portends.

Roget’s International Thesaurus list’s “Pundit” as an: expert, genius, journeyman, consultant, diplomat, or adviser; among many others but my fav is know-it-all and a tough act to follow. The “Common Man” is listed as average, or a nobody, someone pedestrian, or just the “man in the street”. So the Common Pundit could be described as someone who knows everything about nothing or nothing about everything, or just someone opinionated; it depends on your perspective.

Rumors, stupidity, lying SOB’s, and more will be the fuel that drives this engine of opinion; but be forewarned, I will do my own fact-checking not accept as gospel everything on the web, TV or newspapers like your average, ignorant republican or dumbass democrat. FOX News and Facebook will never be considered as reliable sources though they may grease the rumor mill that must be fact-checked.

Whether you accept or reject what I post I fervently encourage you voice your rebuttal in the Comments section; but be advised, if I don’t like your comment you’ll get a truthful assessment of what I think of your opinion. Whether my counterstatement is nasty or cordial depends on you. Articulate your bias if you must but be prepared to justify your stance. Racist statements will be sent directly to the shredder while I pray for your salvation.

You’ve been warned.
