If you don’t get the Sac Bee you haven’t seen this article about my alter-ego Don Zacharias. I will just let my words speak for themselves. Scroll down for pictures.
UPDATE: So far so good, nice to see so many new commenters. One more tidbit on the piece:
Q: What do you think you communicate about Sactown better than anyone else?
A: I guess there are certain constraints on serious journalism, but we’re not constrained, we’re just being the snarky jokester.
David Barton is a great guy, but can anybody else tell that he/The Bee changed this question for print?
UPDATE: Heckasac calls b.s. I call jealousy. The News & Review is good too.

“My least favorite thing is that people will wait in line for an hour and a half when a new chain opens, but they ignore homegrown places.”
“There’s an attitude of, “It’s not what’s here now, it’s what Sacramento is going to be.” That attitude goes from ordinary citizens to the mayor. I say, I live here now. And it’s great.”
AMEN!!!

Seems to me like CoolDMZ is trying to hog the spotlight… Just waiting for the “CoolDMZ Solo Blog Project” to come out.
“blah, blah, blah… oh and theres this other guy Ron, But more about CoolDMZ… blah, blah, blah”

Adamant: maybe next time i’ll just delete both of your comments instead of just the one you double posted because you’re hopped up on goofballs!

I guess the snark rolls down-hill in these parts.

Nicely done!

Dear Mr. Snarky Jokester-
While I love reading your articles, you claiming you want to be famous ruins part of it for me. A true “snarky jokester” (gag) would do this for the fun of it, and to perhaps talk a little trash and get your word out. Fame? Come on now. And what’s up with the photos taken at home on the couch? Sorry Cool DMZ. Not so much. It ruins the mystique of the sacrag.

bdub: how dare you form an opinion on me based solely on my publicly available direct quotes and verifiable photographs!!
maybe i would have come off snarkier being profiled in a harder-edged publication, like Sacramento Magazine?

ENOUGH of the word “snark”. I feel like I am in a really bad episode of the Smurfs.
November 7th, 2005 at 9:29 pm
like the one where The Smurfs gets cancelled due to ungrateful commenters?

“Snarks” are actually the underwater spin-off cousins of the smurfs.
