The Confluence Demographics Survey

It has come to our attention that some of the A-list lefty bloggers think we are as dumb as a box of rocks.  Yes, we’re talking about YOU, Big Tent Democrat and Jane Hamsher.  I’m going to go out on a limb here and speculate that this is because we were right about Obama and that can’t be possible if we’re really just a bunch of bitter, old, uneducated, working class, sino-peruvian lesbians.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that but it must drive the rest of the lefty blogosphere crazy that we still are allowed to vote while we drool all over our ballots.  Come to think of it, Jane Hamsher is probably in that demographic although she’s trying desperately to pretend she isn’t.  For example, here is a description of Firedoglake that we found yesterday on her advertise page:

“Firedoglake and its associated publications attract a large, affluent, educated audience of opinion makers and engaged community leaders. It also attracts a select audience of legislative decision makers and policy makers in Washington, D. C.”

Um, that can’t be right.  After all, some of US have accounts at Firedoglake and that means that Jane has some poor, uneducated and disengaged couch potatoes leaving their opinions at her site.  Either that or we’re much smarter than Jane thinks so we blend in.  (Ooo, can’t you see Jane’s skin crawl at the very thought that we’ve been getting our dirty fingers on her slick graphics?)

Come on, Jane, no one can stop time.  You didn’t lose your intelligence when you turned 50, although there’s a pretty good chance you lost your keys.  And anyway, as Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”  We aren’t just going to shrivel up and die because the rest of the world finds us inconvenient.  We have a right to be here and to be heard.

Nevertheless, we are only speculating about how old, stupid and bitter we are.  There’s only one way to find out for sure.  We’re going to do a survey.  This is just basic demographics.  No personal information will be collected or shared with any third parties.  We may use the information to analyze for trends or to help us organize or *maybe* to attract advertisers.  We’re not really into advertising because it tends to make us compromise our principles if our livelihoods are dependent on it.  What’s that saying about being paid to not understand something?  Someone go ask Josh Marshall.  If we decide to attract advertisers we would have to be very choosy.  But I digress.

If you want to help us understand our readership, take the survey and help us out.  We’ll share the results with you in a couple of days.

BTW, we see you when you’re freeping.  So, don’t bother.
