Blacklisted

McCarthyism? Cheneyism.

////////////////

I, Joe Sweeney, of Portland, Maine, have been blacklisted by the US government. I am unable to make any income from my craft, writing, due to government interference. Just like what happened to so many great writers in the 1950s. Happy days? They were torture for folks like me.

I am doing everything I can to make a living wage so that I can keep doing what I was born to do. And the government is doing almost everything they can do to fuck me. Is this the type of country you want to live in?

I am not a communist or a Communist or really much of anything. The writers blacklisted in the 50s had all gone to some meetings of the communist party of America back in the 30s, as did almost every intelligent and thoughtful American. Me? I have no friends, no nothing.

Why have I been blacklisted? I really have no idea. But it is fact.

I'll bet Tina Fey is totally jealous.
