I Love it When Wil Gets Feisty

I started reading Wil Wheaton’s blog a few years ago when he was one of the few celebrities who had a blog or any type of interactive web site. Hell his blog existed before MySpace (you mean there was life before MySpace.. *GASP*), so he’s got some street cred in the blogging community.

Anyway I always used to enjoy when Wil went off on a political tirade usually full of venom for some member of the vast right-wing conspiracy he had in his crosshairs at the moment. Yes i am exaggerating about the venom and the crosshairs but not about the fact that Wil always felt free to voice his thoughts about politics and especially about our current President. Recently, however, he’s been posting a lot of family-friendly bonding with the kids kinda stuff. He also blogged through a poker tournament which I just found odd. Poker + beer + smoking = normal. Poker + blogging = ??

Anyway Wil went off about Bush allowing himself access to everyone’s snail mail, and defended himself with valid stats when the public backlash started in his following post. This is the kind of stuff that always drew me into his blog and its unfortunate that he doesn’t get riled up more often. I guess he’s busy protecting his wife and kids from having their email and snail mail read and having their phones tapped.
