Your humble TDR host was finally interviewed by a journalist whose deep appreciation of my skills, dignity, and--yes--rugged good looks fully displayed my powers of analysis, synthesis, perspective, and raw sexual magnetism.
Here's an excerpt:
The curious mind of Brian Dunn holds much of its functionality in reserve. Even as he discusses Ukraine and the U.S. military, down to the pointillist data that is his current stock-in-trade, The Dignified Rant author comes off like a Mensa black card holder who might have a secret Go habit or a three-second Rubik’s Cube solution or a knack for supplying, off the top of his head, the day of the week for a random date in 1404, along with a non-condescending history of the Pastafarian aluminum and plastic colanders.
As freelance author Dunn and I talked in his underfurnished corner patio one afternoon in early spring, I slowly became aware that his blogging hobby requires only a modest portion of his cognitive powers. Other mental facilities, no kidding, are apportioned to Sledge Hammer, board games, and Clausewitz’s On War—though not in the original German (slacker). Fortunately, he was willing to devote yet another apse in his cathedral mind to making his ideas about three mighty themes—the proto-imperial EU, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the military 3:1 rule—intelligible to me.
It went on like that for a while. As one would expect. My well developed sense of false modesty prevents me from excerpting more. Do read it all.
The interview may or may not have abruptly ended with the two of us ripping each other's clothes off as we stumbled inside my home to fulfill our deep hunger for each other.
Truly, I've never been more proud of our formally trained Journalist Class.
And my deepest thanks to my completely objective interviewer. I'll call you tomorrow. I swear.
