Shameless self-promotion -- Some moderately humorous things I've written.

[Skinner]

Way back in January of 2001, EarlG and I had a vision for a website that had a great discussion forum, and a bunch of funny articles on the homepage. The discussion forum has since grown into the best discussion forum on the Internet, but we haven't been able to post much funny stuff, other than the Top 10 Conservative Idiots, because for most of the last five years we've had way too much other stuff to do.

After all this time, I have finally reorganized my priorities and shuffled around my schedule enough so that I can find time to write a little bit. For the last week and a half -- inspired by the new DU Journals -- I've tried to write something funny every day. Some of it is good, some not so good. But overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

I don't know how often you all venture into the Editorials & Other Articles forum, or to the DU homepage, so I don't know if you all have seen any of this. But just in case you missed it, here are some links to the stuff I've been writing...

I'm particularly proud of these three:

Sorry, Anonymous -- Democratic Men Are Better in Bed. Just Ask My Wife.
Scouring the Media for "All The Good Things" Happening in Iraq
Signs that your youngster might be a conservative

EarlG wrote this one, but it's so fucking hilarious that I'm adding it to the list:

13 suggested audience questions for Bush's next public appearance

Here are links to the other stuff I've written. Your mileage may vary:

Katherine Harris Gets a Telephone Call From God
Skinner's Iraq War Strategies That Would Work Better and Cost Less
The Iraq War Reloaded
Trash-can transcript: Reid and Feingold Discuss Censure Resolution
Found! Super-secret 2006 GOP Message Memo!

And if you like it, please stop by my DU Journal every once in a while. I'll try to keep it updated.

2. The "mileage" I'm getting is worthy of a hybrid! Well done, Skinner!

These pieces are terrific -- I haven't seen these before. Keep at it -- and I will visit your DU Journal!

Cheers -- :toast:

3. You rock, Skinner!

I'm glad I was checking the Latest page when you posted this.
(I just finished downloading the Abe Vigoda Status bar I found
in the Computer Help & Support Group forum.)
