I am a newly appointed writer for a conversvative column of a newspaper produced by my University and I need a title… any ideas? I am covering political issues from primarily a republican standpoint.
I’m asking this question hoping not to get smart-ass answers by bitter democrats.so if you are planning on writing a smart-ass response bashing conservatives and republicans, please dont waste your time.
I’m not really conservative but these came to mind…
-Friends of the Right
-View from the Right
-I AM the Right Godammit
-The Realist
-God Doesn’t Like it When You Hug Trees
see, mhendo, its responses like that which make me reluctant to post questions in which I need other opinions… I’m not asking for an article title, ideas for an article, or even opinions on an issue I’m writing about. I certainly have some ideas which I would like to use for a title but I am turning to the dopers for better ideas.
I wrote that little disclaimer so I wouldn’t get responses like you left… so my advice to you: Stop wasting your time… go into MPSIMS and post whatever you want, just keep your “Attempt at insults” out of here… I’m sure I’m not the only one who is sick of it.
How dickish. Someone comes in to ask an opinion, and specfically asks for honest suggestions. What happens? rjung has to carpet bomb the OP because he doesn’t agree with his politics. How very tolerant. :rolleyes:
While I agree with rjung’s politics, his posts about anything political are a different matter entirely. This is hardly the first time he’s posted something like this and his emoticon does not make his post any less rude.
Johnnyt27, well, it looks like you’re not going to be getting much help here…at least for tonight.
If you have no luck tomorrow when more posters are online, I would suggest posting your question in the Pit. A title like “I Need Some Fucking Help With My Fucking Consevative Column” would probably qualify it for a home there. And then open it to all comers. You’ll get lots of insult, lots of crap, and lots of well meaning but wrong-headed advice. But you’ll also benefit from of the passion and overall high intelligence of the Pit posters mulling your question, and you’ll get some excellent suggestions along with the crappy ones. Then it’s just a matter of separating the wheat from the chaff.
Why don’t the two of you get together and start a column called “Clueless”? The OP gave a simple request(in IMHO, not The BBQ Pit), but it seems that it just wasn’t simple enough for you two. Let me see if I can make it even simpler-keep your partisan politicking out of IMHO.
[NB: Despite my liberal-leanings, this post is NOT a smart-ass response.]
First, I think you need to give a little more info about the column you’re writing. And are you asking for a straight forward title or something a little whimsical?
If it’s the former, I would go with something like “A View from the Right” or “The Conservative Corner”. If it’s the latter, I kinda like “An Elephant’s Tale” or “The Elephant in the Living Room” (esp. if it’s a liberal university).
Anyway, more facts about the column and the university would be helpful. And now that Czarcasm has put his foot down, it’s likely that you won’t be distracted by partisan bullshit.
