To The Readers: You Complete Me

(Today we turn over The Cup of Joe to reader questions.)

Q: In the last week or so you've blogged about the gnostic gospels and gay sex, about Abraham Lincoln and about hornymanatee.com. What kind of a weirdo are you? -- Elizabeth, Santa Fe

A: I've been asking myself this same question for years.

Q: I don't know why I read this blog. You are really annoying. I don't agree with a single thing you have to say. The site has no focus, is poorly written and you, sir, are one giant asshole. -- Gordy, Casper, Wyoming

Yes.

Q: Why did you recently eliminate kitten coverage from The Cup of Joe? --- Jeremy, Prairie du Chiene, Wisconsin

A: We simply couldn't compete with the better-funded mainstream kitten journalists and the old guard kitten bloggers who resented my erratic and often unfactual and irrelevant coverage.

Q: Can we look forward to new features on The Cup of Joe in 2007? --Melinda, Westchester County, N.Y.

Why yes, you can, Melinda. New features will include a daily sudoku puzzle, online cooking demonstrations in real-time, a web cam (adult check ID required) and a new regular feature analyzing ancient scripture.
