Welcome to the home of the very worst of the meretricious poetasters!

CONTROVERSY

I was getting sick of reading all kinds of political crap and not producing any of my own, and I realized with all of the partisan rancor out there, there's a hell of a niche for people in the center...so I'm writing articles of my own just to drive people nuts, to stir up debate, to spark, yes, a-hem, controversy.

I will write an article each week, circumstances permitting, and put it right here. Below the article of the week will be the archived previous Controversies.

I do this in the name of Gonzo Journalism. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
If you have a controversy you'd like exposed or critiqued, shoot it to me.

Since the Controversies are done (now Chronicling the Fall), Noah Runzo, a good friend, combined them all into a nice little retrospective summary/best of. My thanks to him for that, and if you can't read any of the below, read this for the best of, here.

PICKING A GOOD FIGHT

Here's a new feature. I get a ton of mail every day, mostly from good folks who like what I do and give me some great compliments. Every now and again, some anonymous douche who can't spell straight and ploys intimidation as his stock and trade decides to write me to "show me up"! Every time they do, I either ignore them or shut them down. It's a fun fight to pick, because like with Marv and the hitmen, you don't feel bad for anything you say or do when it's just some anonymous prick on the internet.
