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

What’s the story behind your name? Well, it was given to me by my college friends, and is one of those stories that begins “well, we were drinking…”. Let’s just say that it involved a large quantity of adult refreshments, a steep hill, and an attempt to re-create Monty Python’s “Ministry of Silly Walks” skit at 3:00AM. At least, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
Where do you live? Beautiful Lake Mills, WI. Close enough to Madison to go to the UW sporting events, but far enough away to avoid the hippies.
How old are you? 38, so old enough to know better but young enough not to care.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I’m a native born cheesehead, have lived my entire life in southern WI. (Go Packers!! Bears Suck!!) Went to school at the UW-Madison and actually managed to get an education without succumbing to the siren song of hippie chicks and tenured leftists. I am married to a wonderful woman, with three boys (8, 5 and 2) and am a proud gun-owning conservative capitalist, working in the financial industry to help further enrich the exploiters of the masses. I also teach business classes part time, doing my part to keep capitalism alive.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Since early 2003, I think. I believe I was first directed here by one of the Puppy Blender’s comments on your Filthy Lies (which we all know were really true).
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Man, that’s a hard one. Right now it is a toss up between LOLTERIZT and Hillary Clinton Terrible Truths. I’ve always been a fan of Know Thy Enemy and Frank Answers as well.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Monkey shredding infidels.
What’s your favorite political issue? Bias in the media, because it affects all of the other important issues (national security, illegal immigration, taxation, et cetera). I am a firm believer that given full information, the American citizen will make the right choices come election time. There is just such a lefty bias and lack of patriotism the media today that it is hard for the average citizen to be objectively informed. I therefore propose that all journalists who claim to be objective should have to have their stories vetted by a committee consisting of John Bolton, Donald Rumsfeld, and Buck the Marine. If bias is found, they will have one chance to amend their copy. If they fail at that, they will get tasered in the ‘nads. If that doesn’t cure them, well, I can’t be held responsible for the consequences.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I have three kids, 1.5 jobs and a house to take care of. I have no time for blogging, so I will have to count on you to keep the truth flowing. Don’t let me down, Frank!
What irrational number do you most identify with? As a conservative, I do not identify with any irrational numbers, only rational ones. People who identify with irrational numbers are usually liberals, as in “You only create more terrorists by fighting them!” So lets see, you have 10 terrorists, and you kill 9 of them, leaving one. How is that creating more? My son is in 3rd grade and he is more mathematically rational (and better groomed) than over 95% of the Kos crowd.

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